'Ellerker' means a "marsh where alder trees grow", from Old English alor or aler "alder" and Old Norse kjarr "marsh". The name was recorded as Alrecher in the 11th century[4] and Alekirr in 1139. Same name as Orcher (Normandy, Aurichier 12th century).[4]

In 1823, Ellerker was in the parish of Brantingham and the Wapentake of Howdenshire. Village population was 249, including eight farmers, a corn miller, a shopkeeper, a tailor, a shoemaker, and a carpenter. Also listed in directories were three yeomen and a curate of the village church. Once a week a carrier operated from the village to Hull and Wilton.[5]

The village church is dedicated to St Anne and is designated as a Grade II listed building.[6]

Sir Rafe Ellerker is cited in Part 1 of the title 'The Last Years of a Frontier' — D. L. W. Tough, concerning his survey of the Border Marches, 1541.[7]
