Broomfleet is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the Humber estuary approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Brough. According to the 2011 UK census, Broomfleet parish had a population of 302, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 293. GENUKI provides a description from Bulmer's History and Directory of East Yorkshire of 1892. Bulmer commences by explaining that in 1861 the townships of Broomfleet and Faxfleet were detached from South Cave, the parish to the east, and formed into a separate ecclesiastical parish. This ecclesiastical parish probably became a civil parish in 1866 when civil parishes were established across the country. Bulmer then goes on to describe both townships individually. The two townships were considered to be part of the Harthill Wapentake and, from 1894 onward, the Howden Rural District. Broomfleet and Faxfleet are drawn separately on the Ordnance Survey Maps of East Yorkshire for 1888 and 1900, found in the links below. In the map of 1944 Broomfleet is marked as a civil parish, but Faxfleet has been absorbed into Blacktoft. [edit] Research Tips
