Behind the Manor house is the Manor Garth (below), which was designated as housing land, but there is strong local opposition to this and the latest draft U.D.P. reverses that decision.

This
is the original Manor house from Elizabethan times.The Lord
of the Manor, Richard Smith, lived here in the 1770s. It has
changed and been adapted over the years from initially being
a country house, to being next to the railway as below. Preservation
seems to have been lacking in Victorian times as well as today.
Below is the Roman Catholic church "Our Lady and of the English Martyrs", which was built in 1927 and is dedicated to the Catholics persecuted by Henry VIII, particularly Richard Kirkham. He was educated in France and remained faithful to Catholicism, he was arrested in 1578 and tried and executed at York
