St Mary’s Church is a very prominent feature in the centre of the village. In the churchyard stands an Ancient Norse Cross which dates back to the 10th century, with the first recorded existence of a church being made in 1185. The village is not short of colourful history with smuggling, fishing, shipping and marauding invaders from the north all playing a part. The area once formed part of the ‘debateable lands’ and has seen plenty of conflict and dispute in its ancient past. Part of the parish boundary to the north now forms the start of the border with Scotland.
