The village is recorded in Domesday Book as Brimesfelde.[2] Brimpsfield Castle was built in the village during the Norman period. The manor of Brimpsfield was granted to Maurice de Berkeley in 1339 by King Edward III.[3]

The Church of St Michael was built in the 12th century. It is a grade I listed building.[4]

A fictional Brimpsfield is the home village of Peter and Abby Grant in the 1970s BBC TV series Survivors; it is shown to have a railway connection to London.
