Schools
The school in Saddington opened in 1828 and by 1833 it had 70 pupils, 40 boys and 30 girls, with an average Sunday school attendance of 60 children. By 1855 a new national school was built and was constructed as a single storey red brick building. The school attendance declined over time and had only 29 students by 1910. The school was designated as a junior school in 1931, with the senior students being transferred to Church Langton.

Church
St Helen's church was almost entirely rebuilt and restored in 1872-3 by Fredrick Peck. In the centuries leading up to this rebuilding project, the fabric of the church and most of its internal features and objects were at various times repaired, restored or replaced and so the heritage of the building and how it has evolved over the ages can be seen and appreciated. Some of the oldest preserved features of the church include the three bays of the south arcade, the north doorway, the tower and the nave arcades, which date back to the 13th century. The parts of the church which were restored, dating from the 14th century include, the unbuttressed church tower, the font set and base and the arched piscina in the chancel.

Historical Parish Administration
Saddington became part of the Market Harborough Union in 1836. There had never been a workhouse in the village, but the parish records indicate that in 1802-3, 27 children and 19 adults received outdoor payments to relieve their pauperism. In terms of the surviving parish records, there are 'town books' which give details of overseers,constables, surveyors and accounts for the periods 1781 - 1816 and 1820 - 38. There are overseers accounts for 1792 - 1824 and other papers relating to poor relief, which includes a vestry minute book for 1871 - 1931.
