The 13th-century Anglican parish church is dedicated to Saint Giles; a rare 11th-century gravestone and a simple Saxon font are present on the site. A yew tree near the north west corner is among the oldest in England, believed to be over 3000 years old.[3] There is one pub, the Labouring Man. Sandham Hall is used for village events.
The Church of England primary school shares a headteacher with Amberley School.
