One of the shops, now Roystons automobile memorabilia, used to be the village petrol station and you can still see the old petrol pump outside.

The recreation ground in the High Street is owned by the Parish Council and contains the Pavilion, which is used by a variety of organisations as well as the local sports clubs. This is also available for hire.
