==History==
In 1823 Kilham civil parish was in the Wapentake of Dickering and the Liberty of St Peter's. A market had previously been held on Thursdays. The parish church was under the patronage of the Dean of York. There existed a free grammar school, founded () by Lord D'Arcy of Aston. A mineral spring near the road to Rudston, was supposed curative for disorders. A further spring, called Henpit Hole, was near the road to Langtoft, which during a wet autumn would spout with "violence". A Methodist and a Baptists chapel existed in the village. Population at the time was 971. Occupations included twenty-two farmers, seven shoemakers, five grocers, three of whom were also drapers, four blacksmiths, four tailors, four bricklayers, three joiners, two butchers, two glove makers, a brick & tile maker, a draper, a bacon factor (wholesale tradesman), a plumber & glazier, a bookseller, a saddler, a fellmonger, a corn miller, a gardener & seedsman, and the landlords of the Royal Oak, Plough, Star, and Black Bull public houses. Within the parish were two surgeons, a schoolmaster, four gentlemen and two gentlewomen, a Baptist minister, a curate and a vicar, a yeoman, an Esquire, two Royal Navy masters and a Royal Navy lieutenant. Two carriers operated between the village and Driffield, Beverley, Hull, and Bridlington once a week.〔Baines, Edward (1823): ''History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York'', p. 359, 360〕
Kilham was once an important market town in the Yorkshire Wolds, bigger and more important than Driffield at one time. It held annual trading fairs and had a large number of businesses and a considerable population. The town declined in size and status following the building of the Driffield Navigation, which took trade away from Kilham to nearby Driffield.
Kilham lies on the line of a Roman road from York to Bridlington, now followed by the minor road known as Woldgate. To the south of Kilham there is evidence of a Romano-British settlement from the 4th century.
