The village is situated next to the site of RAF Little Rissington, and much of its housing was built as officers' quarters. These were sold by the Ministry of Defence in 1996 to developers, who modernised the properties and sold them on. The street names give a clue to the village's former life, having names such as Sopwith Road and Avro Road.
