Howdenshire

Howdenshire was a wapentake and a liberty of England, lying around the town of Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire.^[1]^[2]

In the Anglo-Saxon period, the district was under the control of Peterborough's monastery, but it was confiscated by Edward the Confessor, and then given to the Bishop of Durham by William I of England.^[3] It came to operate as an exclave of County Durham, much like Allertonshire, but under the dean of Durham rather than the bishop.^[4] This peculiarity was abolished in 1846, but the district is still in use for certain administrative purposes.^[5]^[6]
