History

The name "Grimston" means 'Grimr's farm/settlement'. [2] Grimston was recorded in the Domesday Book as Grimeston/Grimestone. [3] Grimston was formerly a township in the parish of Dunnington, [4] in 1866 Grimston became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Dunnington. [5]

Grimston is a possible shrunken medieval village. It may have had a moat and church but heavy ploughing around the present settlement has destroyed the earthwork evidence. [6] A Chapel garth was mentioned in 1606 though there is no conformation of a chapel being at Grimston in the Middle Ages. [7]
