Through Middle Ages, World War I and Roman Empire
On the south eastern side of the village is the remains of a medieval moat and possibly the site of a Pele tower. Land towards the south western side was used as a firing range during the First World War. Other medieval (and possibly Roman) earthworks have been destroyed when the A6108 road was widened in the 20th century.
On 5 July 2014, the Tour de France Stage 1 from Leeds to Harrogate passed through the village.
