 A large manor house, Owthorpe Hall, was located here until it burned to the ground in a fire in the late 1820s.It was the seat of the Hutchinson family, one famous member of which was John Hutchinson, the Parliamentarian army officer and regicide.The family vault under the nave of the church is now sealed off, but when the floor gave way in 1859 it was found to contain 17 coffins.
