The nearest town is Ledbury, about four miles north in Herefordshire. In 2011 the parish had a population of 407.
A resident of the village named Emily Bishop (c1879-1961) was recorded extensively singing traditional folk songs by the folklorist Peter Kennedy in 1952.[2]
The village was briefly home to Richard Hammond, the former Top Gear presenter, who resided on a farm next to St. Mary's Church.[3]
