The parish church is dedicated to Saint Martin and is a Grade II listed building. It was totally rebuilt 1762 using medieval ironstone masonry, and was altered in the 19th century. The font dates from the 18th century.[3]

There are two Grade II listed farmhouses in the village, Hall Farm,[4] and Manor Farm, both of which were built of yellow brick about 1835.[5]
