[3] In 1909 King's Pyon is described as a village and parish and as being 6 miles (10 km) south-east from Moorhampton station on the Hay and Brecon section of the Midland Railway.

The parish came under the Weobley Union—poor relief and joint workhouse provision set up under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834—and the petty sessional division and county court district of Hereford.

The church is described as being in Norman and Early English styles, with a tower of five bells and the chancel chapel, connected with the manor of Hydefield, containing "an ancient altar-tomb" with two recumbent figures of a knight with his lady from the time of Edward III.

The 1878 carved oak reredos and the 1872 north transept were memorials: the first to Thomas Cooke of Brooke House; the second to Rev John Birch Webb-Peploe (died 1869), the vicar of the parish for 40 years.

A further endowment was that of 1675 for 34 shillings through receipts from land holdings, paid yearly to the churchwarden and vicar of King's Pyon for the benefit of the poor of the parish.

[4] Parish land of 2,404 acres (973 ha) was "clayey" and of gravel, on which were grown wheat, beans, peas, barley, hops and apples.

[5] Adjacent parishes are Dilwyn at the north, Weobley at the west, Birley with Upper Hill at the north-east, Canon Pyon at the south-east, and Brinsop and Wormsley at the south.

[5] King's Pyon is represented in the UK parliament as part of the North Herefordshire constituency, held by the Conservative Party since 2010 by Bill Wiggin.

In 1974 King's Pyon became part of the now defunct Leominster District of the county of Hereford and Worcester, instituted under the 1972 Local Government Act.

[6][7][17][18] The Anglican parish church of St Mary the Virgin at King's Pyron village is in the Deanery of Leominster in the Diocese of Hereford.

It is of cruciform plan and comprises a two-bay chancel, a four-bay nave with a 12th-century blocked doorway, a three-stage tower with battlemented parapet, and north and south face opposing clocks.

The stained glass east window shows the Nativity, Crucifixion and Ascension, below which is a panelled oak reredos and a mid-19th-century altar rail.

Fixtures and fittings include two fonts, one with a cylindrical bowl which possibly dates to the 15th century, a late 19th-century decorative cast iron heater and 20th-century bronze-finished lamps hanging from chains in each of the transepts, an oak lectern, a reading desk and a pulpit, and 19th-century pine pews.

[23] The Grade II* Black Hall, today in a farm yard at the south of the village, is a house possibly dating to the 15th century, with changes at c.17th.

It is L-plan, gabled, of timber framing with brick nogging (infill), and of two storeys with attics, and with external sandstone chimney stacks at the north.
