The Church of England parish church of St Michael's lies in centre the village and dates to before the mid 12th century.[1]

Winson Manor is a grade II* listed building in the village. The country house was built in around 1740 for Richard Howse, Surgeon-General to the Army.[2]

The village wheelwright was W. W. Field until he retired in around 1960. He displayed his collection of old tools connected to coach and wagon building and farming implements, on a private basis. When Field retired the business closed and some of his woodworking tools were purchased by the Museum of English Rural Life.[3]
