This village core has altered little since described by Magilton in 1977 as "an attractive collection of limestone built cottages and farmhouses" - the largest development has been Manor Farm close - a private speculative development within the historic core. Significant legibility of earlier pattern. Medieval timbers were recorded before removal at Cross Roads Cottage (SMR 1570) in the late 1970s and demonstrate the continuing potential for further discoveries of this type within seemingly later buildings.
