The village name is an Old English language word, meaning 'fortification built with laths or beams'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was listed as Latesberie.[3]

On the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the advowson of Latbbury Abbey was given to the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford.[3] The manor of Lathbury, and Lathbury Park house, has descended through various families, including Lord Vaux, the Earl of Essex and the Andrews baronets.[3] The current Lathbury Park is a Grade II listed house dating from 1801, and incorporating elements from the earlier manor house.[4]

There was also once a 'free school' in a chapel in the churchyard, founded in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, leased to the schoolmaster by Christ Church College.[3] The school was pulled down in 1698 and the materials thereof used to repair the ancient rectory.[3]

The parish church, All Saints Church is a Grade I listed building, of 12th century origin.[5]
