It is a small village of around 200 people, with winding lanes, period cottages and thatched roofs. At its centre is Holy Trinity Church, partly rebuilt after it was bombed in 1940. Village life centres on the King William IV, a 16th-century inn on Chishill Road, just along from West Croft. It reopened under new owners in early 2026 and serves food alongside changing cask ales. Heydon Grange Golf & Country Club is on the edge of the parish. Neighbouring Great Chishill, less than a mile away, has another pub and its landmark windmill.
