[4] During the Second World War the US Air Force created an airfield at nearby Easton Lodge, which was the base of the 386th Bomb Group (Marauders) of the 9th AF USAAF.

Easton Lodge, in 1882 the late seat of Viscount Maynard, was described as a mansion in Elizabethan style, the greater part of which was destroyed by fire in 1847, after which was rebuilt for a cost of £10,090.

[4] Easton Lodge was built in 1597 by Henry Maynard, to replace a medieval manor house which was situated by the church.

[5] Easton Lodge was the home of Frances Evelyn Maynard (1861-1938), also known as Daisy, who became Countess of Warwick and a noted 'champagne socialist'.

The parish church, the Grade I listed St Mary the Virgin, is on Park Road at the south of the village.
