Since the Second World War the village has accommodated British army personnel from the St Geroge’s Barracks in Arncott and housing was built for this in the 1950’s. The older part of the village has a mix of modern property alongside houses and cottages many of which are built of coarsed rubble. There is a Norman Church which has been refurbished many times since, a village pub, shops including general stores, post office, hair salon, garage and craft shop. The former school house is now the village hall and there is a more modern building which is Five Acres Primary School.
