The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Huntingdon and the diocese of Lincoln, rated in the king's books at £7.8.6½., and in the patronage of the Earl of Hardwicke. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, a neat octagonal building, was erected about 80 years ago, by the late rector, Dr. Freeman, who built also the steeple, on the opposite side of the churchyard.
