Origin: Abba's farm/hamlet
Domesday: No mention
The centre of the village is dominated by the church which is itself surrounded by a fairly open green. The church, although traditional in style, struck me as looking as if it had been built (or heavily modernised) in the 1800s. If it is modern then it is clearly a replacement as the church registers are available back to 1538 and are available on its excellent web site:
