History

Roman

Crambeck is famous in antiquity as having been the Roman ceramic kiln site that lends its name to the locally produced Crambeck Ware pottery.[1] Excavations in Crambeck were undertaken by Philip Corder in 1926–1927 with boys from Bootham School.[2]

Georgian

The nearby Crambeck Road Bridge on the A64 was built in 1785 by John Carr (architect). [3]

Victorian

Crambeck was the home of the Castle Howard Reform School (1856-?1986).[3]

The home, run by Humberside county council, consisted of 5 separate blocks of houses with dormitory rooms in each.

The houses were named,

1. House (Yellow)

2. House (Blue)

3. House (Green)

4. House (Brown)

And a 5th house that was a secure unit, attached to 4 house, with locked secured doors and 4 cells like they have in police stations.

Modern

A local history project recorded memories of life in the village in the 1930s and 1940s.[4]

In June 2014 access to Crambeck was limited by a spillage of mashed potato on the nearby A64.[5][6]
