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. Excavations in Crambeck were undertaken by Philip Corder in 1926–1927 with boys from Bootham School.

Georgian

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

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.

In June 2014 access to Crambeck was limited by a spillage of mashed potato on the nearby A64.
