Cowlam was previously a medieval village that was deserted after the Black Death. The church of St Mary, Cowlam is one of the churches on the Sykes Churches Trail.[1] It is a small medieval church restored in 1852 to a design by Mary E. Sykes, daughter of Sir Tatton Sykes, 4th Baronet. In 1966 the church was designated a Grade II listed building and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[2]
Cowlam consists today of six farms, the Church, the Rectory, three cottages, four houses, a bungalow and a bus shelter (although not on any known bus route). Most Cowlam inhabitants descend from families that have lived in the hamlet for many decades working on the surrounding land.[citation needed]
Due to its location high on a hill it experiences extremes in weather, becoming snowed-in nearly every winter even when the local town of Driffield is bare.[citation needed]
