Features

Near the centre of the village is the Church of England parish church of All Saints with St Mary, built in 1863 to designs by T. H. Wyatt. There is also a village hall, which stands on the site of the former village school. A small Church of England chapel of ease next to the manor house of St Mary's is the last remaining part of the mediaeval parish church of St Mary, otherwise demolished in the 19th century. Opposite the village hall is a large sports field, on which cricket and football are played, according to the season. The village also has a public house called the King's Head. There are several notable houses, including Chitterne House, the Manor, the Grange, and Manor Farm, all grade 2 listed for their architectural merit.
