Kiplingcotes is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3.5 miles (6 km) north-east of the market town of Market Weighton, and 3 miles (5 km) to the west of Etton.[1]

The hamlet is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Climbicote, having two ploughlands and belonging to the Archbishop of York.[2] The name was most often written as two words (Kipling Cotes, or Kipling Coates), and means The cottages of Cybbel's people, Cybbel being an Old English personal name.[3] It was originally part of the parish of Middleton on the Wolds, which was in the wapentake of Harthill.[4] It is now split between the civil parishes of Dalton Holme and Etton, and is represented at Parliament as part of the Beverley and Holderness Constituency.[5]

Kiplingcotes is the location for the annual Kiplingcotes Derby horse race. The 500th race took place on 21 March 2019.[6]

The hamlet was served by Kiplingcotes railway station on the York to Beverley Line between 1865 and 1965.[7]

In 1823 Kiplingcotes (then alternatively Kipling Coates House), a farmer was listed as the only inhabitant.[8]

Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit Nature Reserve, to the west of the hamlet is managed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.[9]

In 1993, the name Kiplingcotes was removed from Ordnance Survey mapping, and Humberside County Council refused to place new signs directing people to the hamlet.[10]
