The local church of St Peter & St Paul is a notable landmark with a distinctive spire. A specific reminder of the area's past is the annual Fenland Daisy Fair, a tradition revived from the 19th century. The surrounding fields produce crops like wheat, potatoes, and bulbs, defining the working environment.
