The parish of Charterhouse Hinton was part of the Wellow Hundred.

The chapter house with library and dovecote above, of the former Carthusian Hinton Priory dates from 1232 and is a Grade I listed building.
The priory was founded in 1232 by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, who also founded Lacock Abbey.

Hinton House was built around 1700.
It is a Grade II* listed building.

In 1895 a Titt iron wind engine was installed to pump water from a spring by Bath Union Rural District Council.

During the Second World War, GHQ Line ran just to the north of Hinton Charterhouse.
At (Hedge) Hog Wood remains of an anti-tank ditch and other trenchworks can still be seen.
These rare survivors as well as rather more robust pillboxes were constructed as a part of British anti-invasion preparations.

The Grade II listed former village school is now a private residence.
