In 1268, King Henry III granted permission for a weekly market to take place here. There was also an annual fair that lasted for 8 days. The white building left of centre by the postbox is the small post office. The Co-op supermarket is behind the trees. The Red Lion pub is on the right. The road ahead is now the B5010 (formerly A52).
