-There is a building noteworthy in history in this village. It was widely believed to be the source and site of historical torture and murder of slaves towards the end of the 1800’s. The [[Home Farm Estate]] was often the source of conflict between the established [[Slave Traders]] that had been sent to the Midlands by way of Jamaica. The slaves would then be passed on to the large manor that sits near the village. Whilst much conjecture remains over these claims, there is little evidence of this past.
