The 13 hectare Conservation Area includes nearly all the built-up area of the village and its population of 320 people. It contains 5 Listed Buildings, and was designated in 1990 as part of proposals approved at Planning Committee to create ten new Conservation Areas.
Set in a beautiful Churchyard, the Grade I church of the Holy Trinity is part Norman and part 14th century. The lovely font - a round bowl on five shafts - dates from the 13th century. Beneath the small 600 year old spire, the belfry can be reached via a Medieval ladder of a similar age.
Other notable buildings within this picturesque and compact village are the part Elizabethan timber framed Manor House which dates from the 16th and 17th century, and the red brick and pantile cottage on Widmerpool Road known as The Nook, the end gable wall of which is inscribed "1718" in blue bricks. Both these buildings are Grade II listed.
