 Hoarstone Lane and Trimpley Lane, through the hamlet are probably part of the "Micclan strete" (great made-road), mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon bounds of Wolverley.This may have been part of an ancient road from Gloucester and Worcester to Chester.In 1357 John Atte Wode, an usher of the king's chamber, obtained a licence to maintain a priest at Trimpley.
