[3] Ryton is home to St Andrew's church, in which records first appear of its existence in 1710[2] Ryton Hall, built by Romolo Piazzani,[4] was for a time an independent boarding school for girls, from 1954 to 1983 an ESN school run by Wolverhampton Borough Council, and is now apartments with houses built in the garden.

[4][5] (Not to be confused with the small village of Great Ryton, which also is in Shropshire, in the parish of Condover, south of Shrewsbury.)

[4] The font is unusual, in that it is recessed into the tower arch and the style of its carved decorations suggests that it is a 14th-century creation.

[4] There is one war memorial, a plaque to Major Wilfred Bernard Foster who died of wounds in Burma in 1945.

[20] The Reverend Robert William Eyton (1815–1881), author of The Antiquities of Shropshire, was Rector at Ryton for 22 years, during which period he researched this work, published in 1860.

[21] Colonel William Kenyon-Slaney (1847–1908), sportsman and politician, whose family home, Hatton Grange, is in the parish, is buried in the churchyard.

He is credited with building Ryton Hall, and as well as being a landscape gardener, he has a portrait in a private collection in Montrose Scotland
