The windmill that overlooks the village from the north commands extensive views over the Walland marshes to the English Channel coast.

It is a fine example of a Kentish smock mill and was originally one of a pair of windmills standing on this site, known locally as The Twins.

[4] The village became firmly established in the 13th century with the erection of the large All Saints church made of Kentish ragstone.

Although it was extensively restored in the 1840s, it still boasts a 13th-century chancel and a famous brass of the 14th century, depicting a floriated cross design.

Temporary "mobile complexes" were added and replaced with permanent structures over the years to accommodate the school's increasing roll.

It is home to the village football and cricket clubs; which have use of a permanent pavilion on the greenside; as well as a modern children's playground.

The Hall has a fully functional proscenium theatre space, which is home to the village's Players[6] organisation, who put on three productions every year.
