Notable buildings
Chadkirk House

Chadkirk Chapel, now redundant, dates back to the 16th century[4] and is probably the successor of an earlier church that was founded in the Middle Ages. Nearby Chadkirk House is a Grade II listed farmhouse that was substantially added to by George Nicholson in 1748.[5]
