The Tree, Credenhill An important reference point in this large village. It features in bus timetables, it carries notices about local events and birthday announcements. The station at the end of Station Road is no longer there - it closed in 1963.

Credenhill Court Handsome Georgian house in a splendid setting. Built in 1760, added to in the 19th century and altered internally to adapt it to its present use as a home for older people. Many past residents came here from Eastern Europe after the War, some being buried in the neighbouring churchyard.
