Edge Hill gave its name to the first battle of the English Civil War, in which it was a prominent feature.
The hamlet has a public house, an eccentric building of local Hornton Stone called the Castle Inn[4] that was built in the 1740s to the designs of Sanderson Miller (1716–80).[5] It is controlled by the Hook Norton Brewery.[6]
