The village has always belonged to the manor of Kirby Wiske. The manor was split between the de Maunby and de Holtby families in the 13th and 14th century. Later records show the manor passing to the Saltmarsh family. In the 16th century the manor was passed to the Willey family, whose descendant married into the Reveley family of Northumberland. [2] [3]

The village is within the Thirsk and Malton UK Parliament constituency. It lies within the Thorntons ward of Hambleton District Council and Sowerby electoral division of North Yorkshire County Council. [4]
