Local history

The simple flint church of All Saints dated from the mid-19th century and has now been deconsecrated and converted into a private house.

There is a line of brick and timber-framed cottages along one side of the road and just the one public house, The Frog, formerly known as The Kings Arms.

There used to be a police presence in the village, and the local policeman was housed with his family in Hope Cottage, but this was sold a good while ago and is now a private residence.[citation needed]
