hearsay:-

The house next the church is the Norman House. This was the 'Sunday House' of the Graham Family; all the family and servants spent Sundays here, so that they could attend church.

The village once got its water from three pumps; at Townhead, Martha's Well in the middle of the village, and at Townfoot.
