For many years the village was linked with the family descended from Walter Tirel, the cousin of William Rufus. Sir James Tyrrell who allegedly confessed to murdering the Princes in the Tower under Richard III and was executed by order of Henry VII in 1502 for treason. He built a chapel in the village in the 1470s, which is still there.
