The village church is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. General Sir Rowland Hill, 1st Viscount Hill, who lived at nearby Hardwick Grange, is buried here,[2] as was writer Charles Hulbert who lived at Providence Grove.[3] John Bromley, future trade union leader and Labour MP, whose parents lived at Haston Grove in the parish, was born and baptised here in 1876.[4]

Hadnall was formerly part of the old parish of Myddle.[5]

A real ale brewery, The Salopian Brewery, is based at Old Station Yard on Station Road, Hadnall.[6] It moved to this location in 2014 having previously operated from Shrewsbury.[7]

The village is served by the 511 bus route, operated by Arriva Midlands North, which runs between Shrewsbury and Whitchurch via Wem. Some services terminate in Wem and do not continue to Whitchurch.
