Dating back to 1086, this small hamlet first started off as a farming and fishing community, unfortunately dying off in the 1700s with residents finding work in the mills and rope-walks in neighbouring Bridport.
The Chapel which is just up the track was abandoned in the 13th century, and locals tried in the 16th century to have it restored. To no success. During the 18th century it became known as a smugglers hideout for their the contraband.
