White Hall, the property of P. S. Lowe Esq., lord of the manor, but now occupied by C. D. MacKenzie Esq., is a very neat and pleasant residence. Leigh is an ancient house, formerly belonging to the Hayes, Oldhams and the Bickfords but now the residence of Mr. R. Heath, a farmer.

The church (St. Mary) is an ancient edifice consisting of nave, chancel, north transept and south aisles. It underwent an entire restoration in 1849 at a cost of £900 and has now a clean and neat appearance. The living is a vicarage with Kingsbridge annexed, in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and is the incumbency of the Rev. Richard Luney, MA.  Mr. J. Maddick is Clerk.
