History
The settlement of Udecote is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. A family known as the "Cotes" owned land around the modern day hamlet. Woodcote was formerly a chapelry in the parish of Sheriff-Hales. In 1866 Woodcote became a separate civil parish. It was transferred along with neighbouring villages and nearby Newport into the wider Telford and Wrekin borough in the 1960s–70s. In 1971 the parish had a population of 136. On 1 April 1988 the parish was abolished and merged with Chetwynd Aston.
