The Domesday Book of 1086 tells us that there were 12 villagers (likely to mean households or smallholdings) with 8 ploughs, 4 slaves and one widow living in Badsey.

Following the dissolution of Evesham Abbey, the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford, have been rectors and patrons of the parish since 1546, as well as being substantial landowners.

In the 1870s, the great agricultural depression began to hit the country, but for Badsey, this coincided with the advent of market gardening, introducing a new, prosperous chapter for the village.

By the time that three further sales of farmland took place in the early 1890s, the newly emerging market gardeners seized the opportunity to buy an acre or two of land.

In a hundred years, the population of Badsey and Aldington had more than tripled as more people moved to the area to take up market gardening.

There is a school, two pubs, a shop and post office, and a multitude of clubs and activities to choose from.

The old manor house, a Grade II* listed building, still stands on the village High Street.
