Burnby is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Hayton, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) south-east of the market town of Pocklington and 4 miles (6.4 km) north-west of the market town of Market Weighton. It lies 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of the A1079 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 103.[1] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Hayton.[2]
The name Burnby derives from the Old Norse brunnrbȳ meaning 'settlement by the spring'.[3]
The church dedicated to St Giles was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1967, and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[4]
Burnby was served by Nunburnholme railway station on the York to Beverley Line between 1847 and 1951.[5]
