Sewerby is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) north-east of Bridlington on the North Sea coast.

The hall is a Grade I listed building[2] and is home to the Museum of East Yorkshire, including a room dedicated to the aviator, Amy Johnson.

Sewerby is mentioned in the Domesday Book; "In Siwardbi, Carle and Torchil had two manors, of six carucates and a half.

[7] The two manors, formally owned by Carle & Torchil, were passed down in 1086 to Robert Count of Mortain and the Earl of Cornwall, the half-brother to William the Conqueror.

Robert of Sewerby was lord of the manor in 1316 and the family held it until the death of William de Sywardby in 1452.

It is said that John and his son Robert made their fortunes by acting as agents for a Lady Boococke, a considerable landowner in Bridlington.

[25] The village is on the northern edge of Bridlington Bay, and it fronts onto the shore in a southwards direction, making it the only seaside resort in the East Riding of Yorkshire that faces south.

[21] In 1955, Bridlington Council put forward a plan to build a light railway to Sewerby hall.

[26][27] The 21st century Sewerby has a restaurant, two churches and the Ship Inn, which like the cricket pitch, has views out over the sea.
