[2] The civil parish has an area of 2.49 sq mi (6.46 km2) and in the 2001 census had a population of 91 in 47 households.

For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.

There is a small nature reserve on the site of a former chalk pit, which is believed to have first been used in Roman times.

After all the chalk had been removed, the land became a rubbish dump, which was soon closed following public outcry.

Local farmers and Norfolk County Council then tidied the pit and planted trees and shrubs, creating a mini-reserve.
