Ravensrodd, also spelt Ravenser Odd, was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of England, first represented in the Model Parliament of 1295. It was represented by two Members of Parliament intermittently,[1] with the last known representation being in the Parliament of 1344.[2]
The constituency was a Parliamentary borough in the East Riding of Yorkshire, consisting of the port of Ravensrodd at the mouth of the Humber estuary.[3] [4] The sandbanks on which the town was built shifted in the 14th century, and it was entirely swept away. The site is now underwater.[5]
