Sewerby is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) north-east of Bridlington on the North Sea coast.[1] The village is on Bridlington Bay and is the only south-facing resort in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Sewerby forms part of the civil parish of Bridlington, though between 1854 and 1935, it was in its own parish with nearby Marton and Grindale. Sewerby is home to one of the East Riding's most popular tourist attractions, Sewerby Hall. The hall is a Grade I listed building[2] and is home to the Museum of East Yorkshire, including a room dedicated to the aviator, Amy Johnson.[3]

The church dedicated to St John the Evangelist was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1976 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.
