Alternatively, the first element could be derived from finn meaning 'coarse grass'. The church of St Mary, Fimber was built in 1869–71 in a thirteenth-century style to replace a chapel of ease. The church was designated a Grade II listed building in September 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. It is on the Sykes Churches Trail devised by the East Yorkshire Churches Group. Fimber was served by Sledmere and Fimber railway station on the Malton and Driffield Railway between 1853 and 1950. In 1823 the village was in the parish of Wetwang, the Wapentake of Buckrose, and the Liberty of St Peter.
