Its population at the 2001 Census was 962,[1] increasing to 1,122 at the 2011 census.[2] The present parish church, dedicated to Saint Tysilio, dates from 1867 but tradition states that a church was founded here by Tysilio in the seventh century.[3] The community includes the village of Four Crosses.
