While the parish church
dates to the 15th century, the most
ancient part of this interesting village is a
harbour created by the Vikings after they
navigated the Great Ouse. Two 16th
century buildings are all that remain of the
demolition of a manor house once owned by Sir
John Gostwick, Cardinal Wolsey’s Master of
Horse. One is a dovecot containing 1,500
nesting boxes. The second is Henry VIII’s
stables. Both are now in the hands of the
National Trust.
