Kilham is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated about 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Driffield town centre.
According to the 2001 UK census, Kilham parish had a population of 1,010.[1]
Kilham was once an important market town in the Yorkshire Wolds, bigger and more important than Driffield at one time. It held annual trading fairs and had a large number of businesses and a considerable population. The town declined in size and status following the building of the Driffield Navigation, which took trade away from Kilham to nearby Driffield.
At one time there were six schools in the village, but only one now remains, Kilham C. of E. primary school.
All Saints Church stands on a rise in a commanding position. It is a Norman church with some interesting carvings in the walls of its massive tower. The doorway is adorned with exquisite chevron mouldings from the 17th century. The church hosts an annual flower festival which attracts many people.
Outside the church can be found an old tethering ring in a stone block - a reminder of the cattle trade which once took place in the village. There is also a cast-iron water pump opposite All Saints, another reminder of days gone by.
