It is a traditional village in regards to its linear structure. The Main Street has two main offshoots; one lane, to the south, is called Church Lane (formerly Bank Lane) and leads to St John the Evangelist Church, built in 1858, to the newly built Village Hall, and to a small area of housing, mostly constructed in the 1960s. The lane leading northwards is called Water Lane, a short section of road serving two properties and over a small stream to farmland. Main Street continues south-eastwards of the village centre as Chestnut Avenue to join the main A64 road to Malton and York.

Seventeen had it all figured out
I was gonna play ball and make my daddy proud
But some big time folks came rollin into town
They heard me sing and it turned my life around
I had big dreams coulda done a lot of things but I needed
to figure it out
Took a plane from Boston went from LA down to Austin
Then packed my bags for Nashville Tennessee
Heard the honky-tonkers playing
And the heartfelt words they’re sayin
I fell in love with the simple melodies
Thank god that country found me
The opry never played on the radio
Never drove my truck down a backwoods county road
Took a while to get to music row
But now I’m here and I know that I’m home
