The parish church was dedicated to Saint Benedict, and is a Grade I listed building built of greenstone and red-brick dating from the 12th century, with restorations in 1881 and 1890. In 1964 Pevsner noted a chalice and flagon, dated 1765, by London silversmith Francis Crump.[3] The church was closed by the Diocese of Lincoln in October 1977, and is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust.[4][5][6]
In the churchyard is the base of a 14th-century cross which is Grade II listed and also a scheduled monument.[7][8]
The village was served by the Marmion Arms public house, a half-timbered thatched building.[9]
In 1885 Kelly's Directory recorded that agricultural production in the then 2,380 acres (9.6 km2) acre parish was chiefly wheat, oats and turnips, The 1881 population was 179.[10]
