The population (including Elkington and Stanford-on-Avon) of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 271. ^[1] The nearest large town is Rugby, Warwickshire, about 7 miles (11.3 km) away by road.

The village is dominated by the mediaeval former church of St. Andrew. Built in 1340, it was restored by Edmund Francis Law in 1866 but fell into disuse in the 1950s and was renovated as a private house in 2000. However, the surrounding graveyard still has public access. ^[2]
