The parish church is St. Patrick's Church at Preston Patrick, a mile to the south of Endmoor. Not far from the church, beside the M6, Preston Patrick Hall dates probably from the late 14th century, comprising the remains of a medieval tower house altered in the 17th century.
History
Endmoor used to be home to a grand manor house called Enyeat. This is now the name of a nearby road and the coach house (1875) is a guest house. In 1991 the new primary school "St.Patrick's C of E School" was built by locals. It is now 'the hub' of the village offering a pre-school, parent and toddler group, parent and child activities and adult / community classes such as Art & IT.
The old school, opened in 1862, has been turned into housing. It was replaced by a new school in 1991.
