It is thought to have peasant origins, although a Roman pavement was discovered near to the hamlet in 1736. It was enclosed in 1753. In recent years the hamlet has expanded and is surrounded by and is part of the modern town of Daventry (both civil and ecclesiastical parishes). There are seven buildings or groups of buildings on the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. They are all listed as Grade II in the Daventry list under Orchard Street, the Orchards and School Street.[4] They include the Manor House and the school built in 1859 which once catered for the education of 45 children, but it is now a private residence.
