Church of St John the Baptist A large church in what would have been a small village in medieval times. The church is described across almost two full pages of the Pevsner/Harman guide to this part of the old West Riding, but entry on this occasion was barred by locked gates.

Wadworth Hall Only the upper floors of this mid 18th century house are visible from the road, but it is described by Pevsner/Harman as 'A gracious house of no great size but nevertheless one of James Paine's most dramatic designs'.

East Lodge, Wadworth Hall Like the hall itself, the lodges either side of the gateway are part hidden behind trees and hedges, so details are obscured. The lodges are of a similar age to the hall, whilst the door surrounds are described by Harman/Pevsner as rather in the style of Vanbrugh.

St Katherine’s church, Loversall From the church website;

"St Katherine’s church has been known to exist since around 1208, but it is likely that the nearby well indicates that there has been a place of worship at Loversall for millennia. The fate of the church has been connected for most of its known history to the owners of the Hall at Loversall. Successive owners being patrons of various generosity towards the church. Many of the families are remembered either in the graveyard or within the church itself."

It still has an active and well used graveyard.
