The village has a population of around 500 residents, offering a close-knit community atmosphere. Its origins can be traced back to the medieval period, and evidence of its history can still be seen in the charming architecture of some of the older buildings.

Gatwick is primarily a residential area, with a few local amenities to cater to the needs of its residents. These include a village hall, a small convenience store, and a traditional pub, providing a warm and friendly gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
