Goodmanham (historically Godmundingaham, the home of the people of Godmund) is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 2 miles (3 km) to the north-east of Market Weighton. The village is situated on the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail, a long-distance footpath. According to the 2011 UK Census, Goodmanham parish had a population of 244,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK Census figure of 218.[2]
The village is built in a favourable position on a south-facing slope of the Yorkshire Wolds between two streams. It has a copious supply of water from numerous springs and naturally occurring limestone for building. The land is extraordinarily fertile in this region[citation needed] and people have lived here since prehistoric times.[citation needed]
