The parish church is dedicated to St Bartholomew and has a large but short 12th-century tower. In the churchyard are the remains of a medieval preaching cross now topped by an 18th-century sundial. It went through a major restoration during the nineteenth century by architect Thomas Blashill, FRIBA, which included an addition of a south-facing porch.
The course of the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal runs just north of the village.
