This historic village, mentioned in the Domesday book, is hewn in stone with many of its imposing stone buildings dating back to the seventeenth century; there is a public house and a parish church that dates back to the seventh century. The village is part of the parish of Ledsham where there is a local primary school. Peaceful and surrounded by attractive countryside, it has the advantage of being situated a little over a mile from the A1(M) and is therefore particularly well placed for access to the cities and towns of Yorkshire as well as the national motorway network. York, Doncaster and Leeds railway stations are all within easy reach.
