The village is dominated by the large former woollen mill of John Brooke and Sons, reputedly the oldest family business in the country, having been founded in 1541.[2] The mill has now been converted into the Yorkshire Technology and Office Park.[3]
St Pauls
The local church is St Paul's and it was built in 1848, with a donation from the Brooke family. Partially destroyed in 1987, by fire, and rebuilt in 1990.[4] The church's current clergy is the Rev Julie Anderson.
