URPoint Details
Attractive village with thatched cottages surrounding a pretty green and where two little valleys join and lead down to the river Tas through pleasant water meadows full of marsh marigolds and beside the wooded Smockmill Common.
The whole area has been settled since Neolithic times, as several flint axes, a flint sickle, a borer and numerous scrapers found around Woodhouse Farm.
A Romano-British villa farm lies on the northeast boundary, and on the opposite side of the valley, slightly to the west, Iron Age pottery has been found.
The 17th century Old Hall and the 18th century Rectory make up this pleasant and friendly little village.
