St Wilfrid's Church, Ottringham

The parish church of St Wilfred is a Grade I listed building.

Ottringham was served from 1854 to 1964 by Ottringham railway station on the Hull and Holderness Railway.[2]

During World War II, in 1943, the BBC built a transmitting station there, named BBC Ottringham or OSE5.[3] Its purpose was to counter the increase in German jamming signals, and to broadcast propaganda into Germany. Following the end of the war, and with lack of funds, the station was deconstructed in 1953 and its transmitters moved to Droitwich.

In 1958 a Ham class minesweeper HMS Ottringham was named after the village.

Ottringham boasts two local public houses and a service garage, some lovely rural scenery and just off a main bus route.
