The village got its name from Nettlecombe Court, a manor house built during Elizabethan times. This manor was once the central part of the village. The manor was owned by Godwin, the son of King Harold, and was considered the property of the crown. In 1160 it was given to Hugh de Ralph. It was inherited by family, including John Trevelyan in 1481, and today is still owned by the successors of Hugh de Ralph. The estate includes the mansion, a medieval hall, an oak grove, a farm, and a church.

The manor still stands today, and is beside the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. The church was built sometime between the thirteenth and the fourteenth centuries. The church has seen various renovations throughout the years. It’s right in Nettlecombe Court. The church is considered a Grade I listed building.
