A linear village south-east of Market Weighton, set where the open farmland begins to rise into the Wolds.
Sancton is an East Riding village around two miles south-east of Market Weighton on the A1034, where low farmland begins to rise towards the Wolds.
The linear village includes traditional homes, a church, established streets and surrounding agricultural land, with the hamlet of Houghton in the wider parish.
Sancton lies where the lower farmland west of the Wolds begins to rise towards higher chalk ground. The village's long form follows the main route, with fields remaining close behind its houses.
Traditional buildings and the church provide historic focus, while the wider parish includes smaller rural clusters. Market Weighton is nearby, but Sancton preserves a separate community identity and a quieter village pace.
