a cape or promontory on the eastern coast of Yorkshire, five miles east of Burlington, and 215 from London. This was the Fleamburg of the Saxons; having, it is supposed, been so called from the lights made on it to direct the landing of Ina, who, in 547, joined his countrymen in these parts with a large reinforcement from Germany, and founded the kingdom of Northumberland. In the time of Edward the Confessor, Flamborough was one of the manors of Harold, earl of the West Saxons, afterwards king of England; but on his death the conqueror gave it to Hugh Lupus, who bestowed it on the monastery of Whitby. Remains of a Danish tower and fosse are still to be seen. The cliffs rise perpendicularly from 300 to 450 feet in height, and are composed of a rock of the chalk formation, containing numerous extensive caverns, and frequented by immense numbers of sea-fowl and wild pigeons. Many of the rocks are insulated, and of a pyramidal figure, soaring up to a vast height. The bases of most are solid, but in some instances they are pierced through and arched. In 1806 a lighthouse was erected here, having a revolving light 214 feet above the sea. N. Lat. 54° 7', E. Long. 0° 5'. Flamborough is a small fishing village, with an ancient parish church, which contains a curious monumental inscription to the memory of Sir Marmaduke Constable.
