The article says: "The village [of Eastoft] is a ribbon settlement along the A614 route..."
Do you mean that Eastoft is inhabited by ribbons? What sort of ribbons? Or that during the years of Ostcruft the Warped (of blessed memory), itinerant Ribbons (perhaps a sect of Picts?) wandered down the ancient precursor of A614 and murmured to each other that after years in the Wilderness of Placketry they had found a home in which finally to settle? Or that James Eastoft, the great ribbon manufacturer of the Regency period, moved his factory to this little hamlet, settling there until the Germans bombed the place during World War II?
In brief, explain what a "ribbon settlement" is. And, while you're at it, give a reference too.

The sentence "The village is located on an historical county boundary" is marked with a "which?" tag. The north-western boundary of the parish is currently the boundary between East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. Is this suggesting that the boundary was previously on a different alignment?
