Community
In the past the parish contained two public houses, the Plough Inn and the Black Bull, however both were closed in the 20th century. A village shop was opened in the village hall during the 1980s, but closed after two years. A previous telephone box was removed by British Telecom in 2007 after it was vandalised; a post box from the reign of King George VI is still in place. The village hall is in disrepair as have been the church's bells; one of the three bells was repaired in 2010.
A Camping and Caravanning Club certified campsite is used by caravanners as a stopping-off point when using the nearby A1 road.
