Features

 
St Peter's Church, Copt Oak

The Anglican Church of Saint Peter was consecrated in 1837 and was designed by William Railton, who later designed Nelson's Column in London.

For many years the village, north of the junction of the A50 and the M1, was known for its small youth hostel, which is now closed.
