The local primary school is Mount Pleasant Lane, situated in grounds on Mount Pleasant Lane that include a small pond.

Close to the village stands Hanstead House, built by Sir David Yule in 1925, who is buried in the grounds. It was subsequently bought by Herbert W.

Hanstead House was for many years a training centre for HSBC but closed officially on 23 December 2011, on the premise that future training needs for the group will be accommodated in other venues.
