George Bernard Shaw lived in the village, at
Shaw's Corner, from
1906 until his death in
1950. The house is open to the public as a
National Trust property.

The village has one pub, the Brocket Arms
(External Link
), which is reputed to be haunted.
The village has two churches. The old one, in the centre of the village, was partially demolished in
1775, because it was obstructing the view from Sir
Lionel Lyde's new home.
The new St Lawrence church was designed in a
neo-classical style by
Nicholas Revett and features a
Palladian-style frontage with
Doric columns.
