It contains six buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings, all of which are at Grade II. This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[1] Apart from the village of Lower Kinnerton, the parish is entirely rural. Other than the former school and schoolmaster's house, all the listed buildings are related to farming.
