The parish had a population of less than 100 in 2003, has no facilities other than a church and relies on the nearby village of Roade for shops, schools and other services.
[4] It is now part of "The Five Parishes" group of local churches together with Roade, Collingtree, Ashton and Hartwell.
[7] The landscaped park covers about 370 acres (150 ha), with formal gardens close to the house.
[8] The estate was purchased from Richard Ouseley by Samuel Jones, the son of a London merchant, in 1647.
[9] The park was designed in 1791 by Humphry Repton sic[6][7] for Sir William Wake, 9th Baronet.
The Hall, like the park, dates from 1791 on a site selected by Repton and is by a little-known architect Samuel Saxon.
A large biennial fête is held during June in even-numbered years, which is an opportunity to see the house (exterior only), and grounds including an extensive arboretum.
