Pinnock was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, as Pignocsire,[2] with a population estimated as at least 25.[3] By 1563 there were only three households there.[3] Today the remains of the medieval village are visible as earthworks north of Pinnock Farm.[4]

Hyde is a shrunken medieval village, but traces of medieval buildings have not been found.[5]

Pinnock and Hyde became a township of the ancient parish of Didbrook. It was a detached part of that parish, and had its own rectory but no church.[6] It became a separate civil parish in 1866, although its population in 1881 was only 29. The civil parish was significantly enlarged in 1883, when the chapelry of Farmcote was added to it. In 1935 the civil parish was abolished and absorbed into the parish of Temple Guiting.[7]
