The Church of St John the Evangelist is a Grade II* listed building and is part of Market Bosworth Benefice. It was rebuilt by the Wollaston family in about 1860. A 17th-century memorial to William Wollaston was moved into the church.

The manor of Shenton was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Scentone', where it is recorded as being owned by the Norman magnate, administrator and landowner Henry de Ferrers. This manor formed the estate that belongs to Shenton Hall today. William Wollaston purchased the 2,300-acre (930 ha) estate at Shenton in 1626. Though the family had humble origins from Staffordshire, Henry Wollaston had established a successful drapery business in London, after being apprenticed to a woollen draper as a young man. In 1616, Henry Wollaston died and William inherited his father’s profitable business, which enabled him to purchase Shenton Hall. Records state that William Wollaston did not begin to build (or rebuild) Shenton Hall until 1629. Wollaston displayed this date along with his initials on a stone tablet set into the gatehouse (“WW 1629“). The house was greatly extended to the rear in 1862. The Wollastons occupied the house until 1940 when the army took possession of it.

The sundial commemorates Richard alongside other combatants and is located at the top of Ambion Hill.

Ambion Hill was the site of Richard III's encampment on the eve of the Battle of Bosworth.

The wood can be accessed from the Bosworth Battlefield or from along the Ashby Canal. It is privately owned but crossed by footpaths.

The Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal is a 31-mile (50 km) long canal in England which connected the mining district around Moira, just outside the town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, with the Coventry Canal at Bedworth. It was opened in 1804, and a number of tramways were constructed at its northern end, to service collieries. The canal was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1846, but remained profitable until the 1890s, after which it steadily declined. Around 9 miles (14 km) passed through the Leicestershire coal field, and was heavily affected by subsidence, with the result that this section from Moira, southwards to Snarestone, was progressively closed in 1944, 1957 and 1966, leaving 22 miles (35 km) of navigable canal.
