Local residents describe the settlement as the 'smallest village in England', as it consists of only a church and three houses. The philosopher Thomas Hobbes was interred within Ault Hucknall's St John the Baptist Church following his death in 1679.
Hardwick Hall is within the parish boundary, which also contains the settlements of Astwith, Bramley Vale, Doe Lea, Hardstoft, Rowthorne and Stainsby.
