Manor Farmhouse is an early 17th-century brick house, altered in the middle of the 19th century.[5]
The earliest parts of the former Church of England parish church of St Peter ad Vincula ("St Peter in Chains") are 11th-century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[6] It is now redundant and in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[7]
The brothers John Greaves (1602–52, mathematician), Edward Greaves (1608–80, physician) and Thomas Greaves (1612–76, orientalist) were all sons of a rector of the parish and born in the village.[8] A later orientalist, Richard Pococke (1704–65), was also the son of a rector of the parish.
