Under the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1894 (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73), the town is governed by an Urban District Council of 9 members, in place of the former Local Board constituted under the Public Health Act, 1875, by Local Government Board Order
No. 29,872, dated July 1st, l893. On Oct. 1st 1901, by Local Government Board Order No. 42,567 part of Barmby-on-the-Moor was added to Pocklington township and Urban District.

The town is lighted with gas from works near the West Green, built in 1886, at a cost of £8,000, and the property of the Pocklington New Gas Co. Limited, and is supplied with water from works 1 mile east of the town, erected in 1890 by the Pocklington Water Works Co. Limited, but the main water supply is obtained from springs at Givendale, 3 miles distant; a considerable stream rises near Millington and Great Givendale, and in its course through the parish works several mills and empties itself into the river Derwent.
The church of All Saints is a cruciform building of stone, in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, with north chapel, clerestoried nave, aisles, transepts and a lofty embattled western tower (restored in 1910), with pinnacles, containing a clock and 6 bells, but traces of the Norman church still exist: there are several stained windows: the east window was erected by the late Admiral the Hon. Arthur Duncombe, of Kilnwick Percy; and there are memorial windows to members of the Loftus and Powell families: the font consists of a square basin of fossilized marble on a circular pedestal: there are several memorials to the Dolman and other families, including an elegant mural monument to Thomas Dolman esq. ob. 1589; another to Robert Southeby, ob. 1594: and a third to Robert Denison e sq. d. 1829, and his wife, d. 1837: at the west end of the church is a beautifully carved cross, C 1360, discovered in the churchyard : on the pedestal is a modern inscription in Latin, which translated reads: — “ Here Paulinas preached in the year 627:" in the chancel is a large monument to the Denison family, formerly lords of the manor, over which is a carving- in oak of " the Crucifixion" executed in Germany, about 1500; and well preserved : close to the foot of the pulpit is a stone to Margaret Easingwald, last prioress of the Benedictine nunnery of Wilberfoss : the church was partially restored and reseated in 1850: in 1854 the chancel walls were refaced and in 1879 and 1889 further restorations were effected at a cost of £1,150: the nave, roof and aisles were restored in 1901 at a cost of £3,600: a memorial tablet was erected in 1920 to the men of this parish who fell in the Great War, 1914-18: there are 600 sittings. The register dates from the year 1559. The living is a vicarage, so constituted in 1252, with the chapelries of Yapham and Meltonby and Ousethorpe annexed, joint net yearly value £358, including 27 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Archbishop of York, and held since 1921 by the Rev. Ian McNaughton Smith B.A. of Queen's College, Cambridge.

Hadfield, of Sheffield, and consists of nave with eastern apse: there are five stained windows, one of which, was presented by the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk: an organ gallery, the gift of the late Mrs. Thompson, of Pocklington, was erected in 1907: a stained window was erected in 1920 as a memorial to the men connected with the church who fell in the Great War, 1914-18; the church affords sittings for 120 persons, and attached is a residence for the priest.

The Congregational chapel in Chapmangate, erected in 1807, has an endowment of £60 yearly, bestowed by John Jackson, d. 1874, and will seat 350 persons; there is also a Wesleyan Methodist chapel, in Chapmangate, and a Primitive Methodist chapel in Union street.
The Burial Ground, near the West Green, opened in 1857, contains 4a. 1r 1op. and has two small chapels, one for the Church of England and the other for Dissenters; it is under the control of the Urban District Council, acting as a burial authority.
The Police Court and Station, in George street, erected in 1899-1900 at a cost of about £3,500, are of red brick with stone dressings; the buildings comprise a court room, magistrates' room, a witnesses' waiting room, and a police station, with residence for the superintendent.

SCHOOLS.
The Endowed Grammar School, on West Green, was originally connected with a guild in the parish church, called "the Society of Brethren of the Name of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin & St. Nicholas of Pocklington," the seal of which, together with an ancient silver cocking bell, belonging to the school, is still preserved : the guild was founded by John Dolman LL.D. archdeacon of Suffolk (one of a family who were for centuries lords of the manor of Pocklington), in the 6th year of Henry VIII. (24th May, 1514); & when subsequently, in the reign of that monarch, all such guilds were suppressed, the property originally left to the guild was preserved by the exertions of the founder's family for the benefit of the school: the Master & Fellows of St. John's College, Cambridge, under the arrangement then made, appointed the master of the school, who, in turn with the church wardens, appointed the usher; & the master & usher together formed a corporation, called the " Corporation of Master & Usher of the Free Grammar School of Pocklington." Attached to or connected with the school are the following scholarships & exhibitions:—1, Four Dowman exhibitions each of £40 yearly & tenable for 4 years at St. John's College, Cambridge; 2, the Ackroyd exhibition of £50 for 3 years at either Oxford or Cambridge, may be competed for by boys from this school; 3, the Ann Watson exhibitions of £25 each yearly & tenable for 4 years at any university, are similarly open; 4, three County Council scholarships of £60 yearly each, tenable for 2 years, by natives of or residents in the East Riding, at the Leeds University, Leeds, Firth College, Sheffield, Owens College, Manchester, the Royal College of Science, South Kensington, or any other college or university approved by the County Council; 5, exhibitions established by the governors at any place of higher education, or of scientific or professional training The following: are tenable only at the school:—1, Ten local exhibitions for day boys, each of the yearly value of£1o ; 2, entrance scholarships for boarders, of £20 to £50 each yearly, awarded by examination; 3, a limited number of entrance exhibitions of £10 to £15.
The revenues of the school arose mainly from land situated in various parts of the East Riding, & amounted to about £800 a year; the land has since been sold & the proceeds invested. The Rev. T. Shields B.D. who became head master in 1807, succeeded in- considerably augmenting the income of the school, & in 1818 commenced the rebuilding of the school & master's house, eventually completed in 1848 by the Rev. F. J. Gruggen M.A.: in 1875 the Endowed Schools Commissioners completely re-organized the management of the schools & transferred the patronage from St. John’s College to a gererning body of 12 members. Alderman J. Oliver, 17 Market street, clerk to the

During 1890-91 a gymnasium, chemical laboratory, infirmary & other buildings were erected, & in 1898 the school was further enlarged by the addition of a new wing, at a cost of about £6,000; in 1921 a swimming bath was added & in 1923 Dolman house was bought as an additional boarding house; there are now (1925) three boarding houses,-& about 180 boys ; head master, Percy Cooper Sands M.A. late fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge', and master, Cyril Stanley Kipping M.A.Camb.
