History
The village name is an Old English language word, and means 'Farm or settlement connected with Scira'.[3] In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Serintone.[4]
The parish church dates from the mid-13th century and is a Grade I listed building,[5] dedicated to Saint Laud.
A bowl barrow (a prehistoric burial mound) at the eastern edge of the village is a scheduled monument.[6]
