Near the village are the remains of a CASTLE, which was built about the year 1475, by Sir William, afterwards Lord Hastings. The Church is a small ancient structure, with three bells, and the curacy is consolidated with the rectory of Glenfield. James B. Winstanley, Esq., is lord of the manor; and he about 4 years ago erected a new school in the village. |
