History
The site of a Roman house has been discovered south of Fairview House. The site is on the Heritage at Risk Register due to ploughing.
The name Curry Rivel comes from the Celtic word crwy, meaning boundary and Rivel from its 12th-century landlord Sir Richard Revel.
In 1237 the king granted Henry de l'Orti a licence to empark his woods in Curry Rivel, separating it from the control of the foresters of Castle Neroche.
