Former administrative division of Yorkshire, England
For the 1885–1950 parliamentary constituency, see Howdenshire (UK Parliament constituency).
Wapentakes of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Howdenshire is marked 5.
Howdenshire was a wapentake and a liberty of England, lying around the town of Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire.[1][2]
In the Anglo-Saxon period, the district was under the control of Peterborough's monastery, but it was confiscated by Edward the Confessor, and then given to the Bishop of Durham by William I of England.[3] It came to operate as an exclave of County Durham, much like Allertonshire, but under the dean of Durham rather than the bishop.[4] This peculiarity was abolished in 1846, but the district is still in use for certain administrative purposes.[5][6]
