Bessingby is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Bridlington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It lies immediately south-east from the A614, approximately south-west from Bridlington. In 1931 the parish had a population of 106.
==History== Bessingby appears to be a site of Prehistoric and Roman occupation. Fragments of Neolithic axes have been discovered, and cropmarks indicating trackways, ditch boundaries and enclosures have been seen at Bessingby High Field, to the south of the village, and just to the east, near to the A165 road. A further archeological site is that of a now non-existent water mill, noted as extant in 1418, that could have been sited on Gypsey Race.
