Landmarks

The village pub, the Legs of Man, is situated on the Newcastle Road. A pub of the same name has stood here since the late 1860s, but the present building dates from 1939 and was designed by J. H. Walters. Originally the pub had a thatched roof, similar to the Bleeding Wolf at Scholar Green, but this caught fire in 1956 and was replaced with tiles. Today it has a mock-Tudor exterior and houses a separate restaurant. There is a large beer garden.[4][5]

Arclid Hall Farmhouse stands on Hemingshaw Lane and is a Grade II listed building. It dates from around 1700, and is of three storeys of red brick.[6] It is the only building in the civil parish to be listed by English Heritage.

The village at one time had an active airfield.[7][8]
