To the west, along the A15 (Ermine Street), the parish boundary is with Grayingham. To the north, it meets Waddingham, following Snitterby Beck, then eastwards to the New River Ancholme, and then southwards along the River Ancholme, where it meets Owersby, to the east. Near Harlam Hill and Harlam Hill Lock, it meets Bishop Norton, to the south. It passes south of White House Farm, and along Atterby Lane', then crosses Bishop Norton Road, and meets Ermine Street directly to the west.
[edit] History
In July 1998 76 year old George Lowis was stung over a hundred times by a swarm of bees.[citation needed] Until 2007 the church clock had to be wound up by hand once a week. A £10,000 grant paid for a new mechanism.[2]
[edit] Amenities
The village has a pub The Royal Oak, St Nicholas church and a village hall.
The church is in the group of Bishop Norton, Waddingham and Snitterby.
