In its wide main street were held for centuries the weekly market and the annual fair granted in 1303. According to 'A Shell Guide to Leicestershire' by W. G. Hoskins: "It was once a much larger place and the back lanes are probably decayed streets with old walls, old orchards, ironstone cottages, and farmhouses complete with white doves. There was probably a Roman villa here adjoining the present Wymondham House, as rather more than a century ago a considerable area of Roman pavement was discovered and other Roman remains have been found.." St Peter's Church is mostly of ironstone. Although the church has transepts, the tower is at the west end and not over the crossing. The tower dates from the late 13th century, as does the chancel which is the other oldest part. There are Perpendicular additions to the tower and the spire which are of limestone. Pevsner calls the five-light east window "splendid".
