 At Lower Brookend Farm in the north of the parish are the remains of a linear fishpond formed by damming a brook.It is either medieval or post-medieval and seems to have been abandoned by about 1800.The earliest known record of the manor is from AD 777, when Offa, King of Mercia, made a gift of land at Chastleton to the Benedictine Eynsham Abbey in Worcestershire.
