Swine is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Hull city centre and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Skirlaugh to the west of the A165 road.
The place-name 'Swine' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Swine. It appears as Suine in a charter of circa 1150. The name perhaps derives from the Old English swin meaning 'creek'.[2]
In about 1625, Anne Gargill, an early Quaker writer was born here.[3]
The civil parish of Swine consists of the village of Swine and the hamlet of Benningholme. According to the 2011 UK census, Swine parish had a population of 139,[1] a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 143.[4]
The Priory Church of St Mary the Virgin was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[5]
Swine was served from 1864 to 1964 by Swine railway station on the Hull and Hornsea Railway.[6]
