The civil parish consists of the villages of Tickton and Hull Bridge together with the hamlets of Eske and Weel. According to the 2011 UK census, Tickton parish had a population of 1,731,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 1,586.[2]

The place-name 'Tickton' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Tichetone. The name means 'Tica's homestead or village'.[3]

Governance

Tickton is represented locally by Tickton and Routh Parish Council, a joint council with the adjacent parish of Routh.[4] It is within the Beverley Rural ward of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.[5] At the parliamentary level it is part of Beverley and Holderness, currently represented by Graham Stuart of the Conservative Party.

Media

In 2015 107.8 Beverley FM was launched. This is a station specifically for the community in Beverley and all of its surrounding areas, including Tickton.[6]

Infrastructure

In February 2023, a regional internet service provider, Connexin, installed notices on lampposts around the village, informing residents of plans to erect new telegraph poles along several streets.[7] In a parish council meeting held later in the month, residents complained the poles would be an "eyesore" not worth the promise of faster and cheaper broadband.[8]
