Historically in the parish of Ainderby Steeple, which lies Template:Convert to the south,[5] it became its own parish in 1866[6] and now contains the hamlet of Little Langton.[7] From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

Whilst the parish has a population of 185, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the population of the village was 140 at the 2011 census and remained at that number in 2015.[8]

The village is recorded as having a corn mill in 1539, which led to the stream flowing south west through the settlement into the River Swale being named Mill Beck.[9] The chapel of St Mary Magdalen, now a barn, was built during the 13th to 15th centuries. It was endowed in 1253 as a chantry chapel connected to Jervaulx Abbey and is a grade II* listed building.[10] The chapel is the only surviving building from Thrintoft Grange.[11]

The village has a pub, The New Inn.[1]
