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]
