A collection of farms mostly constructed in the 19th century, although White House may be 18th century (Magilton, 1977, 3). The majority of buildings are as shown on the 1854 6 inch OS map though a few sheds have been added. The name contains a Scandinavian element and may hint at an older settlement here, though there is no mention in Domesday. The SMR refers to a deserted medieval village at Almholme but no information is given. Almholme is first mentioned 1232-1237 in deeds (YAJ) meaning water meadow with elms. Surviving farm buildings give partial legibility of an earlier character type.
