The living is a discharged rectory* in the diocese of Norwich, of the yearly value of £155, in the patronage of the lord chancellor.

The present register dates from 1694, the more ancient one having been lost. In the churchyard is a tomb of one of the Brook family, above 300 years old, whose descendant, F. Capper Brook, Esq., of Ufford, is the sole surviving heir of that ancient house.
