The Church of All Saints was designed by James Fowler (1869 and 1875).[1]

Gilbertine nunnery

The village was the site of a former nunnery of the Gilbertine Order, founded in the 12th century.[2] At the behest of Edward I, Gwladys ferch Dafydd was sent there where she remained until her death in 1336.[3] A Scottish princess, Christina Bruce, was also imprisoned there from 1306 to 1315.[citation needed]
