Vast earth-works, from 60 to 90 feet high, enclosing an area of 4,185 acres, are in the neighbourhood. The living is a vicarage, united with the vicarage of Great Givendale, in the diocese of York. Valne, £300.* Patron, the Archbishop of York. The church is ancient but good, and has a small tower. There are a slightly endowed school, and charities £25.
