The parish church is dedicated to Saint Margaret, and is a Grade II listed building dating from the 14th century and 1749, with 1889 alterations in ironstone with red brick by Hodgson Fowler of Sheffield. Over the west door is a tablet inscribed "Queen Ann's bounty fell to this church in MDCCXLIX."[3] The early 18th-century Queen Anne's Bounty acts of parliament provided extra income for poor incumbents.

Usselby Hall is a Grade II listed building dating from the mid-18th century with early 19th-century alterations and additions, and built with red brick. It was owned and lived in by Lord Tennyson's grandfather. During the Second World War it was used as a German Officer Prisoner of War Camp.[4] Usselby Hall now covers most of the site of Usselby deserted medieval village.[5]

Claxby and Usselby railway station opened here in 1848 and closed in 1960.[6]
