Preston is a fairly common place name, which comes from Presetune (used in the Doomsday Book 1086) meaning Priest Town.
There is a monument to Sarah Hosier, wife of Andrew Carwardine, 1707. The Carwardine family were especially important in the Preston on Wye area, and lived at Preston Court, the manor house at the time, but they also owned farms at Madley.
Many of the village buildings are sixteenth and seventeenth century, including The Elms, Willow Farm, Green Farm and Lower Bellamore Farm, and some houses have roof timbers which date from even earlier. The current Preston Court is 16th century and was a present from Godiva and her sister to Hereford Cathedral. Huntley Court dates from the same period and belonged to the Delahay family.
