The village is pleasantly situated near the road from Northampton to Dunchurch. The surface is hilly, commanding extensive views over a well-wooded country. The land is nearly evenly distributed into arable and pasture, with 100 acres of woodland. The tithes were commuted for land and a money payment under an Enclosure Act in 1773. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Peterborough, value £149. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient structure, with embattled tower containing a peal of five bells. The Independents have a chapel; and there are National schools for both sexes. The parochial charities produce about £10 per annum."
