It is located about 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south west of the city of Lincoln.
The parish church is dedicated to All Saints and is a grade I listed building dating from the 12th century, although it was destroyed by fire in 1342 and rebuilt directly after. In 1898 it was extensively restored and a north aisle was built by Sir Ninian Couper.[1][2] Henry Inman (police commander) was Rector of All Saints for 36 years and is interred in the churchyard.
Today the village has several amenities including village hall, post office and Heritage Centre, a local public house called "The White Hart", a Methodist hall, a sports and social club and playing fields, and a Primary School.[3] In addition there is a minature railway based here.[4]
