Goodmanham (historically Godmundingaham, the home of the people of Godmund) is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

[citation needed] In the Anglo-Saxon period, after the recall of the Roman legions, the village reached a position of great importance and fame.

He describes how the primus pontificum ("high priest") Coifi gave speech about the uselessness of worshipping the traditional gods and supported adopting Christianity.

After breaking taboos such as mounting a stallion and bearing arms, both of which were provided by the king, he rides to the temple at Goodmanham and orders it to be torn down and burnt by his companions.

It is believed that narrative is broadly an invention with Bede having been focused on biblical exegesis and reflecting on the concept of Redemption rather than accurately recording what happened.

[9] In 1823 Baines' History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York gave an alternative Goodmanham name of "Godmundin Graham".

Population at the time was 220, with occupations including fifteen farmers, a boot & shoe maker, a corn miller, a shoemaker, a wheelwright, a blacksmith who was also the parish clerk, and the licensed victualler of The Star public house.
