The
A614 dips and rises as it passes through the main street of this pretty Wolds
village. Rows of cottages line the roadside along with some bigger houses, both
old and new, and farm buildings. A mini roundabout was constructed recently in
the centre of the Village to help cope with the large volume of coastal traffic
which passes through. It is situated in front of the pond and small grassed
area.
The Village has grown as the years have passed with a new
housing estate being built and popular companies such as Soanes' and The
Driffield Landrover Centre upgrading their premises. Along with these
businesses there is a Village shop, two public houses, The Robin Hood and The
Rose and Crown and The Parklands Residential Home, which is situated on the
outskirts of the Village.
St Andrew’s Church sits in a commanding
position on a rise in the centre of the Village presiding over its
parishioners. Although heavy restoration work was completed in 1874, the
original masonry and early 13th Century chancel survived. The
churchyard contains four medieval tombstones. The churchyard used for burials
today is situated on the outskirts of the village. So too is the Village
Primary School, which is situated up the Hill on Station Road.

information on the village at this time
