The parish church of St Mary the Virgin dates from the 14th century. It contains a tomb of earlier date, likely the 1200s, on which have been carved the name Piers Shonks and the date, 1086. By tradition, Shonks was a local lord who killed a dragon or, less commonly, a giant. The emblems of the Four Evangelists – angel, eagle, lion, and bull – have been carved around a dragon's mouth.[1][2] The church is part of a benefice with Anstey, Brent Pelham, Hormead, Meesden and Wyddial.[3]
Near St Mary's church are ancient stocks which could accommodate up to three people. A derelict windmill survives in the village.[4]
