The earliest known reference to the village occurs in a Saxon land charter of King Cyncwulf of Wessex, 878AD, but it was in existence centuries before as not only is it situated on the ancient track way between Exeter and Dover but the Roman road from Old Sarum to Uphill in the Mendips (where lead was mined) also passed through the village, while the existence of Iron age fortifications on the Little Knoll, and between it and the Long Knoll, indicates that there were people here two thousand or more years ago The above text was copied from: http://www.btinternet.com/~JIM.DOWNES1/history.htm
