Historic England adds East Yorkshire sites to at-risk list

Summarised from BBC Humberside's report · Updated 5 Nov, 17:16 · Archive

Historic England has added four East Yorkshire sites to its Heritage at Risk Register for 2026, aiming to raise their profile and direct funding towards repairs.

Holy Trinity Church in Bridlington, a Grade II listed mid-Victorian building completed in 1870, was included due to stone deterioration and poor condition of its church tower. Giles Proctor, an architect at Historic England, noted that there is an active community using the church and wanting to keep it in good order. The other sites added are Lelley Windmill in Elstronwick, a corn windmill built in 1790 which Historic England describes as a striking and largely intact example of late 18th-century design that has since fallen into disrepair, St Mary Magdalene Church in Whitgift, and the buried remains of the Roman minor town identified as Derventio near Stamford Bridge. Historic England stated that Derventio's extensive remains indicate a heightened potential for survival of a wide range of Roman archaeological material.
