Number 9 East St (now a greengrocer) has a fire insurance mark on the front of the building. These were placed at a height that was easy to see, but out of the reach of thieves. This was issued by the Royal Insurance Company which was founded in 1845. Early insurance companies also had fire departments that would put out fires in buildings insured with that company.

Denbury Cistern is a historic water conduit head that stands in the centre of Denbury village. It was built in 1771 and supplied water to four street taps in the village. The water was piped from Denbury Hill, an Iron Age hill fort nearby. The cistern has a pyramidal roof with a finial that bears the date of its construction. It also carries the war memorials for the village. The cistern may have originally been the village lock-up, converted to use as a water cistern later. In 2001, the cistern was restored and interpreted with a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
