Lawshall Village Hall was built in the 1960s replacing the old village hall that stood in the Street. In December 2006 the Village Hall Management Committee started organising events to raise money to update and refurbish the hall. A variety of events were organised and grants were also obtained. The result was that by the end of 2007 the committee were in a position to start work on a major refurbishment scheme which together cost around £47,000. Improvements include:
* Completely new floor and flat roof replaced
* New toilets including facilities for the disabled
* Two new small meeting rooms
* New comfortable chairs and folding plastic topped tables
* Full sound system and hearing loop installed
* Refurbished stage and curtains with a small 'Green Room'
The Village Hall Management Committee produce the monthly magazine ''Round & About Lawshall''. A free copy is delivered to every household in the village.
Lawshall has one village shop, known as The Glebe Mini Market, that is located in The Glebe at Lambs Lane. As the population of the parish grew in the nineteenth century the number of shops serving the expanding community increased from 2 shops in 1844 to 6 shops in 1883. In 1937 there were still 6 shops although there had been reductions in the number in the 1920s. In the 1990s there were 2 shops in the village, the Glebe Stores and the Post Office, which reduced to one shop after the millennium and then following the closure of the Glebe Stores the village did not have a shop for a number of years.
This position changed in 2010 following the re-opening of the store on The Glebe as The Glebe Mini Market which offers groceries, newspapers, an off-licence and a range of DIY hardware to the local community. The shop unit was created as part of the housing development on The Glebe in the 1970s and for a long time was known as the Mace Shop. The shop was run by John Smith and later became known as the Glebe Stores.
Windsor House in Bury Road was formally the King William Public House which closed in the 1940s. In the Suffolk Free Press on 27 September 1945 it was reported that Mr Talbott of Loft Farm, Bradfield Combust and landlord of the King William Inn had died.
