West Drayton was originally known simply as Drayton, and was recorded under that name in the Domesday Book of 1086.[2] "West" was added to distinguish the place from the village of East Drayton, 4 miles east.

St Paul's Church dates back to the 12th century, but was rebuilt in 1874. It is a Grade II* listed building.[3]
