The main area of population in the village is clustered around All Saints Common, a large area of common land.[2][3] All Saints' was recorded as having a population of 192 in 1801 and 232 by the time of the 1851 United Kingdom census.[2] The combined population of the modern parish is around 130.[4]
The parish church of All Saints survives, although it is formally redundant and cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. It is a Grade I listed building, dates from the 12th-century and is one of around 40 round-tower churches in Suffolk.[lower-alpha 1][11][12][13][14] Other than the parish church, the village has no services.[1]
