The largest building on the high street is the village's one pub, The Pig and Abbott, an early-18th century inn which was known as the Darby and Joan from the early 19th century until the 1980s.
The phrase was used satirically by Noël Coward in the song "Bronxville Darby and Joan" from his musical Sail Away (1961).
