There is a school, a modern village hall and a couple of croquet pitches.
Duncton Mill at the foot of the Downs escarpment was powered by a large spring flowing from the chalk. This regular supply of water at a constant temperature throughout the year has proved ideal for its modern use as a trout hatchery.
The 2001 census showed 356 people living in 156 households.
