Part of the main street through the village.

An attractive row of traditional cottages.

18th century brick former farmhouse with 20th century alterations. Dated 1745. Listed Grade II.

Overlooked by the church the Manor House built, circa 1600, in local stone with a medieval fish-pond which is still stocked today. On the roadside, is a listed mud wall which has been restored during the autumn of 2007. The owners run a bed & breakfast.

Shows a contrast between the ironstone used in the construction of the building and the freestone used for window surrounds.

The path has been subject to successive deviations as the dairy has expanded.

The house dates back to the late 16th century, originally built for Richard Hastings, 2nd son of Sir Henry Hastings, Sheriff of Leicester, although it moved out of the hands of the aristocratic family, becoming two dwellings by the late 17th century. By around 1800 it had again become a single dwelling as the farmhouse of Manor Farm. Built of the local ironstone with limestone window surrounds and brickwork in the three main gables, it largely retains its Tudor appearance. The house is Listed Grade II*, specifically in recognition of the large number of original internal features including fireplaces and gypsum floors, some of which have come to light during recent modernisation. The cob wall surrounding the garden with its slate capping is attractive, but in fact is a modern feature. This view shows the L-shaped layout of the house.

Dating originally from about 1220, this Norman Cruciform church is built mainly with ironstone, with some limestone. It was restored in 1893. St Remigius, or St. Remi of Rheims, said to have been born around 439 AD.
