So, from 1174 the Hamlet belonged to the Church and must have witnessed many changes over the centuries. Complete records of the 700 years of ownership by the Church are still available at Canterbury.

In 1880 the Hamlet was purchased by the Vicar of Dunsford, the Reverend Gregory, whose descendants donated a barn to be used as a Chapel and Meeting place for the residents and eventually sold the Land and Properties to the tenants in the early part of the 20th Century.

The Chapel forms part of the United Benefice of Moretonhampstead and Doccombe and is used for services once a month and on special occasions as a meeting place by the residents.
