Background
History
The Domesday survey records four landholders in the village in 1086, including estates in the possession of William I and Roger Bigod. Between the four, there were 25 households and three churches recorded, although the number of livestock counted seemingly falls dramatically from 1 cob, 2 cattle, 12 pigs, and 40 sheep in 1066 to nothing in 1086. Novelist H. W. Freeman was a resident for many years.
