First editions of Pevsner's guide to the East Riding [of which Escrick was a part] describes the village as being swamped by 'expensive and pretentious suburban housing'. I assume that Wenlock Drive, which is named after the Lords Wenlock of Escrick Hall would have come into this category. The village is just a few miles south of York on the A19 and was ripe for development, particularly in the area between the old village just north of the Hall and the church.
