Wyverstone used to have the Plough pub, a mid 16th building on Mill Road, but it closed in the 1960s and is now a Grade II private dwelling.
The local shop and post office closed soon after the pub.
St George's church is to the east of the village.
The Old School House, built in 1869 but closed in 1963, was purchased by the Parish Council to act as the village hall. It was sold in 1988 and is now a private house, close to the church.
The new village hall is in the centre of the village built in the late 1980s.
