Patrington was a rural district in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, from 1894 to 1935. [1]
The district formed the south-eastern part of the county, stretching from Hedon to Spurn.
The district was created by the Local Government Act 1894. [1]
In 1935 the district was abolished by a County Review Order made under the Local Government Act 1929, [1] and the area then formed part of the newly created Holderness Rural District. [2]
Under the Local Government Act 1972 the area became part of the larger Holderness borough in Humberside. Since 1996 it has formed part of a unitary East Riding of Yorkshire.
