History

Roman

Crambeck is famous in antiquity as having been the Roman ceramic kiln site that lends its name to the locally produced Crambeck Ware pottery.^[1] Excavations in Crambeck were undertaken by Philip Corder in 1926–1927 with boys from Bootham School.^[2]

Georgian

The nearby Crambeck Road Bridge on the A64 was built in 1785 by John Carr (architect).^[3]

Victorian

Crambeck was the home of the Castle Howard Reform School (1856-?1986).

The home, run by Humberside county council, consisted of 5 separate blocks of houses with dormitory rooms in each.

Modern

A local history project recorded memories of life in the village in the 1930s and 1940s.^[4]

In June 2014 access to Crambeck was limited by a spillage of mashed potato on the nearby A64.^{[5] [6]}
