Warter is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately Script error: No such module "convert". east of Pocklington on the B1246 road and Script error: No such module "convert". from the city of York.
According to the 2011 UK census, Warter parish had a population of 144,[1] a reduction on the 2001 UK census figure of 159.[2]
It is the location for Warter Priory, which was an Augustinian Priory dedicated to St James founded in 1132 by Geoffrey Fitz-Pain. The chronicler Stephen Eyton was a canon there. It was dissolved in 1536 by the dissolution under King Henry VIII. The site of this priory is now a scheduled monument to the north of St James' Church.[3][4]
The dimensions of St James' Church, cloister, other buildings and the shape of their roofs were recorded along with details of the vestments and church plate. The church was 40 by 12 yards with a quire of 28 by 9 yards; the cloister 96 yards in circuit and 4 yards in breadth.[5] The parish church of St James was designated a Grade II listed building in January 1967 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[6]
A coppice near the village was the inspiration for the landscape painting Bigger Trees Near Warter by David Hockney.[7]
