It is situated approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-east of the market town of Pocklington and 3 miles (4.8 km) north-west of the market town of Market Weighton. It lies to the south of the A1079 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 28.[1] Thorpe le Street was formerly a township in the parish of Nun-Burn-holme,[2] in 1866 Thorpe le Street became a civil parish on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Hayton.[3] The Roman Road known as Cade's Roadis thought likely to have passed through it,[4] which would explain "-le-Street".[5]
