The village primary school closed in 1994 and has since been converted into a private residence. A damaged wooden effigy in the parish church (All Saints) is known locally as 'Old Scriven'. It is said that he once fought a lion, hence his damaged face. Berrington Manor is a Grade II* listed 17th century timber-framed house, located opposite All Saints church.
