There are charities producing about £30 per annum, and several societies, under the auspices of the vicar, for the benefit of the labouring classes. The Independents and Wesleyans have each a chapel, and the Friends a meetinghouse. Fox, the founder of that society, first preached in this place. There is a free school, and Sunday-schools belonging to the various places of worship. Eatington Park is the seat of E. J. Shirley, Esq., M.P., whose family have resided here since the Norman Conquest.
