Warter is a small estate village in East Yorkshire approximately 16 miles from York and 24 miles from Hull. For nearly three centuries Warter has been the property of a single owner and until 1969 the owners were resident in the parish for at least part of the year. The estate has its origins in the Middle Ages when the greater part of Warter was owned by the monks of Warter Priory, an Augustinian monastery that was established in 1132.

The village church stands on the site of the priory church and in the field to the north can be seen the earthworks of the other monastic buildings. When Henry VIII closed down the Priory in 1536, its buildings and land were acquired by the Duke of Rutland. From around 1630 the Warter estate was owned by the Stapleton family from whom it passed by marriage in the late 17th century to Sir William Pennington of Muncaster Castle in Cumberland.

The Penningtons did not always own the whole village but during the earlier 18th century they purchased all the other freehold land in Warter and by 1787 the Penningtons owned everything except two small plots of land and the church and churchyard. The Penningtons lived part of the year at Muncaster Castle, part in London and part at Warter Hall, known as Warter Priory by 1840, a house they built a mile from the village. Sir John Pennington, baronet, a friend of William Wilberforce, was made 1st Lord Muncaster in 1783.

In the centre of the village was Barrack Row, a terrace of six one-bedroomed cottages built of brick and chalk with pantiled roofs. The terrace was heightened and thatched by the Vestey family soon after they bought the estate in 1929.

Standing with your back to the church, you can look over a bumpy meadow where sheep graze and find the earthworks of the medieval priory belonging to the Augustinian or Black Canons founded at Warter by Geoffrey Fitz Pain in 1132.

There are works inside the church by Sir George Frampton and Robert Anning Bell. Frampton created a marble monument to Lady Isabel Wilson, the daughter of the 7th Duke of Roxburghe and the wife of Guy Greville Wilson who died in childbirth in 1905, at the age of 26. Frampton was also the sculptor of the monument to Charles Henry Wilson who became 1st Lord Nunburnholme.

On the north side of the churchyard is the private burial ground of the Wilson family, the Lords Nunburnholme where we find two signed bronze sculptures by Gilbert Bayes, a pupil of Sir George Frampton and a key figure in the 'New Sculpture Movement'. One, commemorating the 1st Lord Nunburnholme who died in 1907, is in the form of the figure of Victory with a laurel wreath, while the other, nearer the church, is in memory of his youngest son, Gerald Valerian Wilson. It represents a standing angel, with a nimbus, reading the Book of John.
