The history of this area is described in histories of the parish of Worplesdon, of which Wood Street Village is a part, however has developed similar amenities of its own (save for a community halls, paths and recreational amenities maintenance decision making body, its civil parish council).

There are a large minority of pre-20th century houses in the village; Wood Street Village has farmhouses which date from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Littlefield Manor, in the mid-category of architectural listing Grade II joins with neighbouring Whipley Manor as one of two similarly sized farms, but which were once larger manors, the history of which is well documented by its many returns such as the Feet of Fines kept by the central government.

Wood Street School opened in 1878 and the Victorian part still stands
