Lissett is a village in the Holderness area of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated south of Bridlington town centre and north-east of Beverley town centre on the A165 road that connects the two towns. Together with Ulrome it forms the civil parish of Lissett and Ulrome. In 1823 Lissett, with a population of 95, was in the parish of Beeford, and the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. A chapel of ease existed in the village.〔Baines, Edward (1823): ''History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York'', p. 363〕 In 1942 an RAF station, RAF Lissett, was built there. Its main role was to serve as a base for the Halifax Bomber 158 Squadron. It had a short life - the final mission left the airbase on 25 April 1945. The airbase is now part of a small industrial estate in the village. In December 2008 a 30 MW〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our operations )〕 wind farm housing twelve turbines each high was constructed across the western end of the airfield. The village church, St James, is a Grade II listed building and houses the oldest dated bell in England, dated 1254. Perhaps of 14th-century origin, it was rebuilt by Hugh Roumieu Gough in 1876. Remaining from the previous church are fragments of a Norman capital in the east wall. The east stained glass window is by Charles Eamer Kempe, with Morris-style diamond-shaped flower details and lettering.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus; ''The Buildings of England.
