The Nostell Estate was centred on [[Nostell Priory]], an 18th-century [[Palladian]] [[historic house]], on the site of an [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] [[priory]] which received its [[charter]] in 1121. The house has interiors by [[Robert Adam]] and furniture by [[Thomas Chippendale]]. The house was owned by the Winn family and is now in the care of the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Nostell Priory |url=https://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/place/nostell-priory |website=National Trust|access-date=18 January 2025}}</ref> [[Wragby, West Yorkshire|Wragby]] Church is at the entrance to the grounds of Nostell Priory.<ref>{{cite web |title=St Michael & Our Lady, Wragby |url=https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/7356/ |website=The Church of England|access-date=18 January 2025}}</ref>

Coal mining on the Nostell Estate began in the 9th century and continued until 1987. Nostell Colliery was known locally as 'the family pit' due to the welfare schemes introduced by the Winn family far in advance of similar schemes before [[nationalisation]]. In 1880, terraced houses nicknamed "Cribbin's Lump" were built close to the colliery. They were renamed "New Crofton" by Lord St Oswald but the nickname remained until the houses were demolished in the 1980s.  Nostell Colliery closed in 1987.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pit closures, year by year |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3500979.stm |date =5 March 2004| website=BBC News|access-date=18 January 2025}}</ref>
