Treswell has one post box, an old fashioned red telephone booth, a bus stop, a petrol and service garage and an active village hall.

Treswell has rarely featured in history, but it was the home of Tom Otter, who murdered his wife of one day in a field at Drinsey Nook, near Saxilby in 1805.

Treswell is over the South Leverton oilfield which runs beneath it,[6] and there are four nodding donkey oil pumps over well heads to the north east of the village.

[7] The field produces high-grade crude oil, which is taken by road to a collection centre at Gainsborough, from where it is transferred by rail to be refined at Immingham.

Displaced engineers working for BP returned to the UK, and South Leverton oilfield was one of several which were identified at that time as a result of their exploration skills.
