Its most notable feature is the neolithic long barrow known as the Coldrum Stones and its medieval church. It is often incorrectly spelled Trosley after Trosley Country Park at the top of The North Downs, which was once part of the Trosley Towers Estate.

Perhaps the best known resident of the village was artist Graham Sutherland who, in 1954, painted a portrait of Sir Winston Churchill. The picture was hated by Sir Winston, to whom it was presented on his 80th birthday, and was destroyed by his wife, Clementine, shortly after it was taken to Chartwell.
