A curious hall, built in the reign of Henry VIII., is now used as a barn. The river Lambourne flows through the parish, the soil is fertile, and the land is almost wholly arable. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Oxford, value £400. The church contains some monuments. This place is a meet for the Craven hounds.
