This "attractive chequered flintwork and battlemented west tower [is] topped by a lead spire" was restored in the early 20th century. The spire can be viewed from some distance away as the village is approached on the Attleborough road. The village has a number of early thatched properties, though no longer serving their original function, such as the 15th century probable hall house divided into two cottages but now one dwelling and shop Ye Olde Thatche Shoppe. The Crown public house, one of six pubs that used to be in the village, was once called The Bell and dates from the mid-18th century.
