The village has the Roman Catholic church of St Thomas Apostle and a Roman Catholic primary school – St Mary's. But there is no Church of England presence, which is unusual for a parish in England.[citation needed] The nearest Anglican church is in the neighbouring parish, Barnacre-with-Bonds.[citation needed]
