Among local facilities is a village hall, opened in 1921 as a First World War war memorial to local men who are commemorated on a brass tablet indoors. The hall replaced a club room which had become inadequate for the needs of the village.{{cite book|last=Francis|first=Peter|title=Shropshire War Memorials, Sites of Remembrance|year=2013|publisher=YouCaxton|page=130|isbn=978-1-909644-11-3}}

Shavington Hall was a former country house originally built in 1506 by the Needham family, later the Viscounts Kilmorey and Earls of Kilmorey, who had acquired the Manor of Shavington in 1461. The Hall was rebuilt on a grander scale in 1685 by the 6th Viscount to be their English seat and sold by the third Earl in 1885 to Arthur Pemberton Heywood-Lonsdale, who was appointed High Sheriff of Shropshire for 1888. At that time it stood in a park of 600 acres. The Heywood-Lonsdales improved the house and grounds and bought several adjoining estates.{{cite web|url = https://archive.org/stream/shropshirehouses00leiguoft#page/n127/mode/2up|title= Shropshire Houses-Shavington Hall}} The hall was demolished in 1959 as too expensive to maintain.{{cite web|url=http://lh.matthewbeckett.com/houses/lh_shropshire_shavingtonhall_info_gallery.html |title=England's Lost Country Houses |accessdate=28 April 2013 |url-status = dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021070814/http://lh.matthewbeckett.com/houses/lh_shropshire_shavingtonhall_info_gallery.html |archivedate=21 October 2013 }}
