About Driffield

Driffield, a market town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, has long been shaped by the fertile Wolds landscape. It lies 18.0 km north of Beverley (from Beverley: bearing 359°T, OS grid TA 023 577), and is situated east of Little Driffield village. The town's economy, historically rooted in agriculture and milling, still carries the scent of the harvest fields, with its proximity to the chalk uplands influencing its development. Ancient trackways, worn smooth by centuries of foot and cart, hint at a past where this was a vital crossroads for trade and community, a place where the bounty of the land was brought to market under wide, often luminous, skies. The pulse of Driffield can be felt in its bustling market square, a space that has witnessed generations of commerce and conversation, the air alive with the murmur of voices and the colours of fresh produce. While no grand abbey or cathedral dominates its skyline, the sturdy presence of its parish church, All Saints', stands as a quiet testament to enduring faith. This is a town where the past is not a distant echo but a tangible presence, perhaps most keenly felt in the gentle rhythm of daily life. The legacy of its agricultural heritage continues to inform its character, a constant reminder of the deep connection between the people of Driffield and the earth that sustains them.
