Maesbury Primary School was located here; it closed in 2013 but was reopened after renovation in 2017 as a children's nursery. Also located there is Maesbury's village church of St John. Beside the church is the village war memorial in the form of a rough-hewn cross. It was unveiled following the First World War by Brigadier-General J V Campbell VC, in 1921. Local men who died serving in the Second were later added.^[2]
