The parish church is St. Giles. There is a Co-op on Church Street, along with a small local store and sub Post Office. There is also a family run butcher, a hairdressing salon, a sandwich and coffee shop and a beauty salon. It has a highly regarded primary school, Cropwell Bishop Primary School, which feeds into the nearby secondary school, Toothill Comprehensive.

The Grantham Canal runs along the edge of the village.

In November 2009 the village Scout group (1st Cropwell Bishop) re-opened after an absence of 15 years.
