Description from Bulmer's History and Directory of East Yorkshire (1892) at [8]:
FOGGATHORPE is a township containing 1,320 acres of land lying on the bank of the Foulness river, which forms the eastern boundary of the parish. It possesses a stiff clayey soil, with very little sand, and a clay subsoil. Wheat, beans, and oats are the principal crops. The rateable value is £1,443, and the population in 1891 was 131 - an increase of 18 since 1881. C. Blackburn, Esq., Brighouse; William Townsley, Foggathorpe; T. S. Clarke, Esq., Knedlington Manor; Thomas Hepton, Esq.; and Manoah Rhodes, Esq. are the largest landowners. The tithes amount to £140, of which £13 belongs to the vicar of Bubwith, £24 to Mr. C. Blackburn, and £103 to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
Foggathorpe, called Fulcathorpe in Domesday Book, was given by the Norman Conqueror to Gilbert Tison, his standard bearer, whose descendants settled at Gunby and took their name from that place. In times more recent it belonged to the Aikroyds, one of whom was buried in the chancel of Bubwith church in 1673. Their old mansion was taken down in 1743, and a farmhouse erected on the site. The moat, by which it was protected, is still visible.
The village is small, and is situated about three miles east from Bubwith, and seven north from Howden. There is a station here, on the Selby and Market Weighton branch railway, which intersects the township. The Wesleyans gave a chapel in the township, built in 1803, which is also used as a day school, under the management of the Holme-on-Spalding Moor United District School Board. There are 41 children on the books.
6.2 The published detailed 1:25,000 soil map of the area - Soils in Yorkshire 1: Sheet SE65 (York East). Soil Survey of England and Wales, 1971 - shows the land to the north of the disused railway line to be dominated by poorly drained, clayey soils of the Foggathorpe series. Soils with sandy or sandy loam topsoils and upper subsoils passing into clay at depth are mapped as imperfectly drained soils of the Stockbridge series and occupy rising ground in the north-east. The remainder of the site is "unsurveyed".
6.3 The generalised soil map of the area - 'Soils in Northern England' published by the Soil Survey of England and Wales in 1983 - also shows the area around the site to be covered by soils of the Foggathorpe 2 Association developed in glaciolacustrine clay and described as: Slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged stoneless clayey and fine loamy over clayey soils. Some similar coarse loamy over clayey soils.
Eastern areas of the CFMP also contain the Dunkeswick Association, while the area around Blyth and the Coastal Streams has the Foggathorpe 1 Association. This association is dominated by seasonally waterlogged clayey, often stoneless soils, in till and clay derived from glacial lakes. The Foggathorpe 1 Association soils are slowly permeable and consequently subject to seasonal water logging.
In general, the soils of the CFMP area maybe characterised as poorly drained and seasonally waterlogged creating conditions conducive to rapid surface runoff.
