The parish church, St Michael's, stands in centre the village and dates to before the mid-12th century.[1]
Winson Manor is a grade II* listed building in the village. The country house was built in around 1740 for Richard Howse, Surgeon-General to the Army.[2]
The village wheelwright was W. W. Field until he retired in around 1960. He displayed his collection of old tools connected to coach and wagon building and farming implements, on a private basis and when Field retired the business closed and some of his woodworking tools were purchased by the Museum of English Rural Life.[3]
