The villages name means 'Farm/settlement connected with Luda' or perhaps, 'farm/settlement on Hluding (= the loud one)', an old name for what is now called Billing Brook.[2]
The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of St Peter are 12th-century. North and south aisles and arcades were added to the nave in the 13th century. There is a fine surviving Easter Sepulchre on the north wall of the chancel. It is a Grade I listed building.[3]
