North Cave lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Goole and Pocklington. Baines' History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York, stated that William the Conqueror gave the lordship of both North and South Cave to Jordayne, who took the surname 'Cave'. This anecdote is not supported by evidence in Domesday Book, however. which does not list any landholder named "Jordayne". The book identifies several lords and tenants-in-chief for both North and South Cave; beside King William himself, Robert Malet appears to be the primary landholder in 1086, but William I died in 1087, Leaving William II as successor, and so, some land may have transferred after 1086, but more evidence is required to lend credence to this family origin story. In 1823 North Cave was a civil parish in the Wapentake of Harthill and the Liberty of St Peter's. The Metham family of Metham had at North Cave a house which had been demolished. Existing at the time was a Methodist and a Quaker chapel.

Resident were three yeomen, a surgeon, a vicar, a gentleman and two gentlewomen. A carrier operated between the village and Hull twice a week. A Hull to London coach passed through the village twice a day. The Metham family held the old North Cave Manor house and built Hotham Hall as their new residence on the same estate. The grounds of North Cave manor house were landscaped by Sir George Montgomery Metham, owner 1763–1773. The Hotham estate was sold to Robert Burton in 1773, who incorporated the grounds of the manor house into those of Hotham Hall.
