This also sells groceries and papers. A greengrocer's shop and garden centre is situated at the western end of the village. There is an antique shop, a painting and pottery gallery, a garden machinery shop and a car repair garage. Top of page Social Activities Much of the social life of the village takes place in the Village Hall. This has a main hall large enough for playing Badminton, and the Vale Room for smaller meetings.
Some space is used for the doctors surgery.
The hall was built in the early 1970s, however in 1997 a serious defect was discovered in its construction, and it had to be expensively rebuilt. The Recreation Ground provides a playground, two football pitches, a cricket square, and two tennis courts. All the facilities are managed by active sports clubs. A further five acres was been purchased to extend this area. An ambitious scheme was developed for this ground, in the reasonable expectation of National Lottery support.
