When Nikolaus Pevsner visited the hamlet in the early 1960s, to write the entry for his Yorkshire: The North Riding volume of the Buildings of England, he described the estate church of St Lawrence as "away from anywhere except the decaying Hall". The Hall was demolished in the 1960s, although the gate piers at the start of the drive remain and are a Grade II listed structure. St Lawrence's was declared redundant in 2007. It is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
