Farmcote is a small place, a few houses along a dead end lane, but has a long history.

Beckbury Camp, half a mile north of the hamlet, is an Iron Age univallate hillfort.

[2] St Faith's chapel in the hamlet dates back to Saxon times.

[4] In the Middle Ages Hailes Abbey held land here, and built Farmcote Grange, the remains of which are still visible.

The manor house, still bearing the arms of the Stratford family, is now a Grade II listed building.
