The name, as a distinct settlement within the township and parish of Churchstoke, was first recorded in the mid-16th century.[1] The current village includes several timber-framed farmhouses of the 17th and 18th century, the former Oak Inn from the same period, and a 19th-century Methodist chapel.[1]

There was formerly a holy well, or "Lady well", in the village, which was dressed with flowers and rushes.[2]

There are several farms located in Old churchstoke, one being Upper Aldress, farmed by Robert Kinsey and his family
