In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Kirk Hole like this:
Kirk Hole, coast cavern, East-Riding Yorkshire, in vicinity of Flamborough; is of great extent, and is very interesting. The name is derived from the supposition that the cavern penetrates as far as the site of Flamborough church.
Kirk Hole is now part of EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Kirk Hole itself, go to Statistics.
