There are deep roots to the past, for here the Romans pitched camp, and there the English built their church on a mound either found or raised by the Roman legions. There have been findings of Bronze Age swords and burial urns of early Celtic tribes.

The village was essentially two joined settlements, Bergh and Apton, along the NW/SE axis. There is one remaining church that of St Peter & St Paul, in what was Bergh. This is a fine building with 14th Century origins that stands at the highest point of the village overlooking the river Chet that runs along the village southern boundary.
