The village dates back to Roman times and there is strong evidence of Saxon occupation as well.

Wrington was historically part of the hundred of Brent-cum-Wrington.

Wrington Cottage Hospital opened in 1864 and admitted 24 patients in its first year of operation. The first surgeon was Horace Swete, who wrote the Habdy Book of Cottage Hospitals. It was referred to by Florence Nightingale in 1869.

Wrington had its own railway station between 1901 and 1963, on the Wrington Vale Light Railway, which ran from Congresbury to Blagdon.
