In January 2000 a Millennium Seat was constructed alongside the wildlife area, with a special event to celebrate the installation.
The moatfield behind the Church is the site of the original Manor House, dating from the 12th/early 13th century; both fields behind the Church are part of the rescheduled Ancient Monument, protected by English Heritage.
The last piece of the jigsaw in the Manor Farm area is the field opposite St Everilda’s Church, which has been awarded funding from the Countryside Agency to establish it as a Millennium Green for the benefit of local residents
