Pleasant little village set in glorious countryside with a delightful Hall.

There is an interesting village sign which shows a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost radiator. This sign was erected in recognition of Henry Royce of the Rolls Royce fame who lived in the village whilst developing his famous car.

The village pub the Foundry Arms, takes its name from a foundry that was nearby, and where in 1830 the Gallus plough was first developed.

The church of St Mary the Virgin is mainly 12th to 15th century but has parts dating back to before 1066. A beautiful rood screen was donated in 1460 by John Playford, and was removed at the time of the Reformation it was stored in a barn. It was restored to its rightful place in 1872, but due to its poor condition it was not placed in its original position.
The weathervane is interesting as it shows a plough which played a very important part in village life.
