Within the centre of the Conservation area, the cluster of cottage-style dwellings makes up the important built environment but offers little in the way of natural features. In contrast, however, the open space around the Primary School and St Mary’s Church in Main Street, provides natural features which bring aesthetic quality to the Conservation Area.

The two mature Beech trees in the grounds of the school and the several Sycamore, Lime, Yew and Holly which stand in the raised garden to the front of the Old Rectory provide a visual diversity that is lacking in the closely built areas of the village.

Church Lane follows the northern boundary of the Churchyard, which is formed by a hedgerow of Holly containing several Sycamore and Ash trees. Within the Churchyard several Yew trees can be found, a feature, which is common to many Churchyards in the Borough.
