It is located within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire, but along with the rest of the former Startforth Rural District it was transferred to County Durham for administrative and ceremonial purposes on 1 April 1974, under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972.
A major monumnet of the Settlement is the medieval church of St Mary Whycliffe-with-Thorpe on a low-lying riverside site beside an ancient fording place in the River Tees.
