In 1879, two ecclesiastical parishes, Aldwinkle All Saints and Aldwinkle St Peter merged. The church of All Saints was declared redundant in 1971.

All Saints, a designated Grade I listed building,[2] is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[3] Also listed Grade I are St Peter's Church, Lyveden New Bield (and gardens) and Lyveden Old Bield.

The small primary school, Aldwincle Trinity, opened in 1976.

The village rectory was the birthplace of the English poet John Dryden, the English historian Thomas Fuller, and the English Civil War figure Charles Fleetwood.
