"The village is also home to an old "Lock up".(14th Century) It is now situated between the Norman Church and the modern cemetery, and is visible from the A518, bound for Stafford. The purpose was as a mini prison, and it fits the bill with sinister efficiency visually, with its strong riveted and bolted door, no windows or other openings and thick sandstone walls. It was originally located nearer to where the mini round-about is now situated, but was carefully moved, brick by brick.(in 1931)" Quoted from Wikipedia.
