Its name, derived from Old English, means "the eastern clearing in the forest".[1] It was historically a township of the large parish of Pontesbury,[2] and is still part of the civil parish of Pontesbury. It consists of some 50 houses, including some timber- and cruck-framed dwellings.[3] There is a brick former Church of England mission church in the village, built in 1869 but a private house since about 1990,.[4] Its churchyard contains the graves of two World War II soldiers who both died in 1940, which are registered and maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.[5] There is a functioning Methodist chapel which is part of the Shropshire and Marches Methodist Circuit. The chapel was built in 1834.[1] A stone World War I memorial tablet is next to its entrance door outside and indoors is a framed Roll of Honour to local men who died in World War II.[6] The village had a small and possibly shortlived Latter Day Saints congregation in 1851.[7] The village has had two pubs, The Royal Oak and The Windmill Inn, a shop and a school house which are all now private houses. In the 18th and 19th centuries the village was the centre of a small-scale coal mining and brick-making industry.[3] Outside the village is a rare survival, a windmill built in 1809.[8] It was restored in the 1980s.
