The village church is dedicated to St James the Great and was built on land donated by the Earl of Shrewsbury and largely paid for by him. It is grade II listed.[3] It has a large circular stained glass east window, an unusually tall south porch and an open stone bell turret mounted at the east end of the church hung with two bells. The impressive wood rood screen was designed by Augustus Pugin. The village lies less than a mile to the north of Hopton Heath, which was a significant battlefield (Battle of Hopton Heath) in the English Civil War where in 1643 Parliamentarian forces were defeated by Royalists under Spencer Compton, who died there.
There is a parish council, the lowest tier of local government in England.[4]
