LOCATION

The village is steeped in history, a large account is written in MAGNA BRITTANNIA in 1806 concerning its famous connections.

A branch of the Aylesbury and Tring silk manufactory was established in the village in 1843 employing some 40 females at hand loom weaving but has long since gone.
