The parish church, which was built in the 11th–12th centuries, is dedicated to St Michael the Archangel.[4] At the north end of the village is an 18th-century water mill, three storeys with a lean-to wheelhouse and adjoining cottage.[5] There is a public house called the Waggon & Horses, which is the first carbon-neutral pub in the United Kingdom and home of the Nottinghamshire Pie, a dish created by chef Roy Wood. The school is called Halam Church of England Primary School.

Halam is the birthplace of travel writer and academic Robert Macfarlane.
