The village is situated on the Wolds, and is watered by a rivulet called the Rase, which forms the principal source of the river Ancholme. Upwards of 5,700 silver pennies of Henry II. were discovered in 1807, on the estate of the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson D'Eyncourt, who presented many of them to the British Museum. The parish was enclosed in 1793, when the moor allotments contained 990 acres, and the Wold 1,956. The soil on the moors is light and sandy, and in other parts a sandy loam alternated with stiff clay. There are numerous quarries of greystone and chalk.

The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Lincoln, value £120. The church, dedicated to All Saints, is a stone structure with a tower containing a clock and four bells. The parochial charities produce about £17 per annum. There is a school for both sexes, erected at the expense of the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson D'Eyncourt in 1858, and by whom it is entirely supported. The same building answers for an institution, with a reading-room and library attached. The Wesleyans, Primitive and Free Methodists have chapels. The principal residence is Bayous Manor, the seat of the D'Eyncourt's, with a circular keep. After the Conquest the manor became the property of Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, and thence it came to the families De Bayeux, Beaumont, Lovel, and D'Eyncourt. C. T. D'Eyncourt, Esq., is lord of the manors of Tealby and Bayons.
