Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the village's name comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Præwhyll meaning 'lookout place'.[1] Primarily a farming settlement, the village has seen little major development save to meet local requirements. During the First World War an airfield was constructed just outside the village.[2]

Local amenities include a public house, local shop, and a community hall.
