Airmyn is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated at the mouth of the River Aire with the River Ouse, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north west of Goole. It lies to the west of the M62 motorway and the A614 road. According to the 2001 UK census, Airmyn parish had a population of 795,[1] which had risen to over the 800 mark by 2006.
The parish was part of the Goole Rural District in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1894 to 1974, then in Boothferry district of Humberside until 1996. The village has its own primary school, Airmyn Park Primary School, which is very small with just over a hundred pupils. There is a clock tower by the school, which was paid for by the village population in 1866, to honour the memory of the second Earl of Beverley, who paid for the building of the school.
There is a fairly large memorial hall, located next to the village field and "Woodland Park" as named by an Airmyn Park Primary School pupil. A Post Office at the Memorial Hall is opened twice a week staffed by volunteers. The parish church of St David's is a Grade II listed building originally built in 1318 and extended in 1676. It has a well-kept graveyard.In the Middle Ages, Airmyn was a small port and up to the 18th century, its dead were taken by boat upstream to be buried at Snaith. It was quicker to go by river than by horse and cart.[2]
