The village’s name origin is uncertain. 'Meadow farm/settlement' or 'mowing farm/settlement', perhaps indicating a place where grass or another crop was mown, are possibilities.

It has a church dedicated to St Andrew and is part of the Diocese of Norwich.[3]

April Fabb, a missing schoolgirl, lived in the village and disappeared on a journey from here to Roughton in 1969. She has not been found.
