The village's name means 'Strikr's farm/settlement'. This name might be indistinguishable from the 'Stric' recorded in the Domesday Book as holding land in the adjoining Bozeat and Wollaston parishes during the reign of Edward the Confessor.[1]
The village borders Grendon and Wollaston. The limited amenities include:
- The Church (St Rumwolds).
- A business centre - utilising converted farm buildings.
