The church (St. Andrew), which is mostly early 14th century (although the chancel was actually rebuilt in 1828), incorporates part of a (12th century) Norman aisleless church at the south-west angle, including the reset south doorway with colonettes, scallop capitals and zigzags.

A protest to keep the pub running was fought for by driving a tank to Kettering Borough Council offices[citation needed] but no appeal has been won.

[citation needed] An ancient custom or ritual, which still exists in the village, is that of the "Tin Can Band".

[5] Various reasons have been suggested for the custom, including scaring away evil spirits just before Christmas, or (less charitably) that was a kind of "rough music" to drive out gypsies.

[6] Nowadays it's quite good-natured, but in the past there have been riotous scenes, especially in years when the authorities tried to prevent it happening.
