Background
History
Parts of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin date from the 12th century. The Viscounts Portman, as in Portman Square and surrounding areas of London, which remain the family hands, held the manor house and main lands here for about two centuries but in 1934 inherited a property in Wiltshire which they substituted for this home, casting off local landholding also to other ownership, on sale. The former World War II airfield of RAF Upottery is in the outer parts of the parish.
