Note: Previously located in East Riding of Yorkshire. This village, on the River Ouse near Selby, was a natural site for a Viking stronghold. A noteworthy limestone church here, dating in part to the 11th century, features a 126-foot spire and large Perpendicular windows in the transepts and chancel; these features were added after the church was made collegiate in 1427. The slender spire stands oddly on top of the squat 63-foot tower. The buildings of the older part of the present village consist of 18th- and 19th-century brick-and-pantile farmhouses and cottages. The economy of the village still remains rooted in agriculture.
