Sproatley is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) north-east of Hull city centre and 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Hedon at the junction of the B1238 and B1240 roads.
The village church, dedicated to St. Swithin, is said to contain a small chamber organ built by 'Father' Smith in the late 17th, early 18th century.[2]
According to the 2011 UK census, Sproatley parish had a population of 1,350,[1] a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 1,353.[3]
From here comes the Mills family that is likely to succeed as titular Kings of Romania.
