The little church at Haile, with no dedication, has Georgian plain arched windows, but the walls are medieval. The west porch was added by Ferguson in 1882, and the Church restoration took place mainly in 1883. a South-East quoin in the nave is part of a Saxon cross-shaft, with scrolls. Outside against the West wall is a monument to John Ponsonby (1670, while the window depicting St George and the dragon, is a memorial to a later Ponsonby, who died in 1952.

When analyzing the population graph, from 1961 to 2011 the population grew by 500 when comparing the data sets from the Neighborhood Statistics and the Vision of Britain website. However this large scale rise in population isn't truly valid as the two contrasting websites use different boundaries to outline Haile. The Neighborhood Statistics Census highlights Haile as a much larger area than the Vision of Britain site therefore explaining the massive change in population size.[5] .[4] This is because of the boundary change in April 1935 transferring an extra 45 acres to the area.[6] Therefore both websites are accurate for the period they represent.

However when comparing the occupations to the 2011 census it shows the change in equality in terms of the number of people working with 164 males and 161 female.
