The village came into the hands of the de la Rivere family after 1281.
The Great War of 1914-18 had a devastating effect on the population of the village as witnessed by the memorial on the north wall of the parish church.
The parish church is dedicated to St. Andrew. Set back from the road, the original building was within the grounds of the Saxon Manor House.
The church was rebuilt in 1860 when the greatly respected Revd. WJ Brodribb was vicar. John Kingsone Spratt, a local farmworker and clockmaker who was churchwarden at the time made the clock.

JC Alcock,he made the clock to commemorate the coronation of King George V in 1911 using several hundredweight of scrap iron, brass weights, gun metal and lead pipes.
