There is also a 13th century church and in the adjacent hamlet of Eaglethorpe, a 1500-year-old skeleton was discovered. There are several local, countryside walks such as The Nene Way footpath which travels through the village and a delightful walk to the nearby village of Fotheringhay, steeped in history, and the location of the trial and beheading of Mary Queen of Scots.

The village of Elton, comprising mainly stone and Collyweston houses, with some thatched properties, is two miles away offering a church and chapel, primary school, two public houses, cricket pitch and team and a village hall.
