Until recently the village had two pubs and some shops. However, the long established 'Coach House' closed in 2014, and now the village only has the traditional Sussex pub, the 'Hare and Hounds'. The thirteenth century Anglican parish church is dedicated to Saint Peter. At Parkminster, formerly Picknoll Farm, is St. Hugh's Charterhouse, Parkminster, the only post-Reformation Carthusian monastery in the United Kingdom. An Éolienne Bollée there has been restored.
