The Jacobean Old Hall in Middle Hambleton (built in 1611 and once the home of Sir Abel Barker, 1st Baronet) is now situated on the water's edge.

The church still has an original Norman south doorway, and was extensively restored and fitted out during the late 19th century.

[5] The Hall was built in 1881 as a hunting box by Walter Marshall who left it to his sister, Eva Astley Paston Cooper.

She was a socialite who gathered a salon including Noël Coward, Malcolm Sargent and Charles Scott-Moncrieff.

[citation needed] There is a view across to Burley House from the north side of the village and from the south one can see across to the sailing club at Edith Weston on the far shore.
