These places being hamlets of Moorland in the civil parish of North Petherton.
Set in the heart of the Somerset levels it has the river Parrett running next to it. It has fewer local amenities than it used to; the village shop, school and post office have closed leaving only a church, village hall and an out of village pub, The Thatchers Arms.

The Village Hall was built to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It was originally started by the villagers themselves, but had to be pulled down and rebuilt by professional builders, as the walls were not straight. Dances used to be held in it once a month, with refreshments provided by the local Women's Institutes.
Before the hall was built, a small amateur dramatic society, The Parrett Players, produced two one act plays which were held in the local school.
