 Nearby is Brown's Wood, formerly Manor Farm Woodland, which was planted in part due to the heavy metal group Iron Maiden liaising with The Carbon Neutral Company to plant enough saplings to offset the carbon dioxide generated by the production and distribution of their 2003 album "Dance of Death".There is a club here and a pub (The Bricklayers Arms).It was originally a farming and mining village, but the mine was closed in February 1984.
