The living is a vicarage, with the vicarage of Woolhope and the perpetual curacy of Fawley, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Hereford rated in the king's books at £6. 9. 9 ½, and in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of Hereford. The church is dedicated to St. Mary. The village is pleasantly situated on the east bank of the Wye.

The Capler-hill is finely wooded, and from its summit the prospects are rich and extensive." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) ©Mel Lockie]
