There are some traces of a Roman raised way in the direction of Lullington in Derbyshire, and near it is a tumulus. The tithes were commuted in 1791. The living is a perpetual curacy* in the diocese of Lichfield, value £80, in the patronage of the bishop. The church is a plain brick structure dedicated to the Holy Trinity. Buckeridge, the antiquary, for some time held the living. The charities produce about £4 per annum. The Earl of Lichfield is lord of the manor.”
