The village was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.[3]
The village formally had a public house called the George and Dragon Inn, however it was closed due to a 'deliberate' fire in March 2019.[4] It has now been converted into an Indian restaurant.[5] The village shares a primary school with the neighbouring village of Chapel Haddlesey.[6]
