The church of St. James has been lately rebuilt; the tower, which is square and turreted, contains 3 bells. The living is a rectory, valued at £200, with a commodious parsonage house rebuilt in 1844; the Rev. John Hopton, M.A., J.P., is the patron, rector and lord of the manor, and resides at Canon Frome Court, a handsome modern mansion, adjoining the church. The population in 1861 was 115; acreage 1,005. The soil is clayey, but rich.

WHITE HOUSE, Lower House, and Suffield with the demesne, are the principal farms.
