[2] There was an ancient mansion house in this parish that belonged to the Mayne family for many years (they were lords of the manor in 1086).

This has long since disappeared, but the groundworks of the ancient manor house still remain and are a goldmine of archaeological finds.

[6] John Harrison was the vicar here and his only child Henrietta Tindal (c.1817-1879) was a noted poet and writer.

Within the parish border lay the hamlets of Westlington, Ford, Upton, Waldridge, Gibraltar and Aston Mullins.

There was also anciently a hamlet called Moreton in this parish, though today only the groundworks and ponds remain.

Dinton CC[10] also compete in the National Village Cup, reaching the semi-final stage in 2013 and 2014.
