There is an Anglican church, a primary school (which celebrates it's centenery in 2008), and a gastro-pub. Two shops and a Post Office used to operate in the village, but have closed.

The parish church is called St Lawrence and has a 14th-century tower. Several French aristacrats are buried in the graveyard, after escaping the French Revolution.
