NOTOC Brigham is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Foston on the Wolds, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 mi south-east from Driffield, 15 mi north of Hull city centre, and to the west of the B1249 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 66. Brigham was formerly a township in the parish of Foston on the Wolds, from 1866 Brigham was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form Foston.

The name Brigham derives from the Old English brycghām meaning 'bridge village'.

Driffield Navigation

The Driffield Navigation canal passes at the west of the village. The Brigham section of the Driffield Navigation was dug about 1767. A swing bridge was built across the canal to allow access to Elm Tree Farm, and a footpath to Corpslanding and Hutton Cranswick. In 1967, after a decline in canal traffic, the swing bridge was kept closed, and was replaced by a fixed bridge in the 1970s. In 2003 a new working swing bridge was installed.
