The village has an active community life with a busy village hall, a friendly cricket club,  parish church,  the magnificent Church of St Andrew's, dating from 1875 and  replacing a much humbler medieval church, which scholars believe to be the place where William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, and two pubs, The Blue Boar and The Golden Cross.
