There are a number of attractive cottages and houses, including the George and Dragon pub which has an 18th-century facade of chequered brick. There is another pub, the Wagon & Horses, and at one time there were four, but two have now closed down. Nearby is the site of a former village, Chesfield – all that remain are the ruined walls of its 14th-century church.
