Thorpe le Street is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Hayton, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-east of the market town of Pocklington and 3 miles (4.8 km) north-west of the market town of Market Weighton. It lies to the south of the A1079 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 28.[1] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Hayton.[2] The Roman Road known as Cade's Roadis thought likely to have passed through it,[3] which would explain "-le-Street".[4]
