The parish, which is of small extent, is situated on the Strafford railway and the ancient Fosse Way, where coins, &c., have been found. There is no village, only a few farmhouses. The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, value £27. The church, dedication unknown, is a very small ancient edifice, with a turret containing one bell.
