Real property, £1,771. Pop. in 1851, 267; in 1861, 372. Houses, 71. The increase of pop. arose from the temporary presence of railway labourers. The property is subdivided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Hereford. Value, £130. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of H. The church is plain; and there is a national school.
