History

The village takes its name from the medieval landowner, Roger Lenethale. The parish church of St Mary Magdalene was originally the chapel to the manor house, and is located in a field, half a mile to the east of the main village street. It dates back to the 13th century, and was restored in 1497 and 1876. [3]

Places of interest

In a field on the western side of the village, just off the road to Wigmore, there is an ROC post. It was opened in May 1961 and closed in October 1968. [4]
