There is a small village hall of wooden construction which was probably once part of a military barracks (on another site). The village also contains a set of water pumps, still in situ but now out of service, that provided water from an underground pipe system fed from a wind pump. The oldest house in the village is the (grade 2 listed) Whym Cottage, a beamed house with walls of wattle and daub, part of which dates from the 16th century. Kynnersley is situated on the North Shropshire Weald Moors, an area of wetlands which have been drained for agricultural use using a series of drains or "strines". Most of the farming land was originally part of the estate of the Duke of Sutherland and several houses in the village are 'Duke of Sutherland Cottages' which have a distinctive architectural style. The "Dukes Drive" is a lane that leads directly from Kynnersley to the Duke of Sutherland memorial at Lilleshall In the centre of the village is a small triangle of raised land known as the Whim. The oak tree in the middle of the Whim is said to have been the hanging tree for the local court house. The old court house itself is now part of the farm buildings of Manor Farm and is in a poor state of repair. Robert Burn (1829-1904), classical scholar and archaeologist, was born at Kynnersley when his father was rector of the parish.
