Driving through this little village on my way home one afternoon I suddenly felt compelled to turn around, park the car, grab my camera and film the place there and then. And I'm so happy that I did - as despite the incessant wind, it was a lovely little walk.
Little Weighton is a village located approximately 5 miles south-west of Beverley. The village is served by a small shop which is also a post office, a school, a church, village hall, playing fields, station garage and the Black Horse pub. Famous residents include one time David Bowie bassist Trevor Bolder.
Little Weighton was a settlement in the Domesday Book, in the hundred of Welton and the county of Yorkshire. It had a recorded population of 8.5 households in 1086, putting it in the smallest 40% of settlements recorded at that time.
Little Weighton is supposed by some to have been the site of the famous battle of Brunanburh which was fought in 937 between Æthelstan, King of England, and an alliance of Olaf Guthfrithson, King of Dublin; Constantine II, King of Scotland; and Owain, King of Strathclyde. The battle is sometimes cited as the point of origin for English national identity as Æthelstan's victory preserved the unity of England. The historian Æthelweard wrote around 975 that the 'fields of Britain were consolidated into one, there was peace everywhere, and abundance of all things'. Alfred Smyth has called the battle ''the greatest single battle in Anglo-Saxon history before Hastings'.
