Formerly called the Bell Inn, the Oliver Cromwell dates from 1698. The current name was presumably chosen with a mind to associations with the nearby civil war battle of Roundway Down

St. Edith?s Marsh: postbox № SN15 221 and redundant phone box
Although the telephone box remains in place, the apparatus has been removed so it's now a purely cosmetic feature of the village.
The postbox is emptied finally at 4pm on weekdays and at 8:15 on Saturday mornings.
