Wrestlingworth has a number of listed buildings including the Church of St Peter, and the centre of the village is a Conservation Area.

Community groups in the village often meet at the Grade I listed 17th-century public house, The Chequers, and at the Wrestlingworth Memorial Hall.

[3] These include the local Women's Institute,[4] the Goodwill Fund,[5] the Walking and Wildlife Group,[6] the History Society and the Badminton Club.

[8] Geology, soil type and land use The majority of the parish is arable farmland but there are also a number of paddocks for horses, cattle and sheep grazing.

Most of the parish lies on boulder clay but there is a small strip of gault running through Wrestlingworth village centre.

[9] The whole parish has highly fertile lime-rich loamy and clayey soils with slightly impeded drainage.

[10] Lousy Bush, a small 0.6 hectares (1 acre) nature reserve is at a former gravel pit to the south-west of the village.

However, by the mid-12th century two manor houses – Kendale's and Hereford's - are recorded as the village which was being established along the banks of a tributary of the River Cam.

There used to be a post office/shop and a local convenience store but now there is just a hairdressers, the offices of a financial advisor, and a public house, The Chequers.

Traces of arsenic were found and several local residents gave evidence against Dazley during her trial at Bedford Assizes.

She was the last woman to be publicly hanged in England and it is said that the entire Wrestlingworth community walked or rode over to Bedford to see the event.

Wrestlingworth & Cockayne Hatley Parish Council has seven elected members and meets bi-monthly at the Memorial Hall.
