Despite a small private housing development being built in the late 1970's and early 1980's, the village is of a more ancient origin than most of the villages in this part of the Borough. The Holy Trinity Church incorporates work of both the 12th and 14th centuries, and is attractively situated amid a fine stand of mature sycamores on the south side of the village.

The village facilities include a public house and two churches. A regular bus service operates to Morpeth, Ashington and Alnwick.
