It, along with Bossall has a population of about 100 (2001 census). The village is centred by the Aldby Hall. Also centred around the Church of St John the Evangelist. To the west of the village, on the high ground, lies the remains of a Roman Temporary Camp, a square enclosure, ditched and banked, constructed quickly by an army on manoeuvres in enemy territory and used either overnight or for a short period of time, and demolished upon abandonment of the site. This camp was constructed prior to the establishment of Eboracum, Roman York, in 71 AD, by probably 20 years or so.
