The village has one pub, The Top Monkey (formerly known as The Boar's Head); until recently there was a second, the Black Lion, and they were universally known locally as the 'Top Monkey' and 'Bottom Monkey'. There are active cricket and hockey clubs.
The hall that gives the village its name is a 13th-century manor house which is located in close proximity to Smithy Lane and the Mold to Connah's Quay road. It was the most important house in Northop parish. It was occupied by local aristocracy including the Evans family, ancestors of author George Eliot. The original Northop Hall is now a private house and not to be confused with Northop Hall Country House Hotel which is Victorian and located elsewhere in the village.
It currently has no recognised Welsh name. In April 2025, Pentre-moch (Welsh for 'pigs village') was proposed by the community council for use as its Welsh name. It refers to a 13th century farm located near the Northop Hall manor, which gives the settlement its English name.[4] Neuadd Llaneurgain, a direct translation of the English, has also been proposed and has received more local support.[5]
