Local residents describe the settlement as the 'smallest village in England', as it consists of only a church and three houses.[nb 1] The philosopher Thomas Hobbes was interred within Ault Hucknall's St John the Baptist Church following his death in 1679.[3]

Hardwick Hall is within the parish boundary, which also contains the settlements of Astwith, Bramley Vale, Doe Lea, Hardstoft, Rowthorne and Stainsby.
