[2] Eastrington lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Haltemprice and Howden, an area that mainly consists of middle class suburbs, towns and villages.

[4] Nearby Eastrington Ponds was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 2002 by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

The village had a population of 375, with occupations including six carpenters, four farmers, two shopkeepers, a shoemaker, a blacksmith, a corn miller, a tailor, and the landlord of the Bay Horse public house.

[citation needed] Architectural evidence suggests that much of St Michael's Church building surviving today was built during the 14th century.

The windows of the chapel are typical of the 14th century, and a tombstone recorded as being in the church in 1584 was inscribed with the words "Orate pro animabus Nicholai de Portington, militis, qui istam capellam fieri fecit" (Pray for the soul of Nicholas Portington, knight, who caused this chapel to be built).
