Historically agricultural, the community is centred on a handful of historic buildings and a parish church and has an economy still shaped by farming alongside residents who commute to nearby market towns. Social life tends to be local and community-led, with village events and countryside pursuits making it typical of the county’s quieter, picturesque parishes.
