Considering its associations probably had an ancient pre-Christian origin. A Roman villa was discovered in 1795 in a field south-east of the village. Amongst the considerable amount of Roman antiquities were discovered remains in stone coffins placed east-west. This suggests a Christian burial either at the time of the villa or rather upon its remains. This suggests that a chapel was placed here and that this was likely to be dedicated to St Pancras. Local traditions suggests that there was a well dedicated to the saint nearby which existed certainly in the twelfth century. The spring was said to be a chalybeate spring one but is now lost. The site is marked on the first OS as site of, nothing now remains but a reservoir is located nearby.
