It was one of the old townships of Much Wenlock parish, where it was treated as a single township with the neighbouring township of Bradley (having a total of eight taxpayers in 1524).[2] From the late 18th century the small settlement at Wyke was eclipsed by new cottages built at Farley to the south-west.[2]
