A community governance review effective 1 April 2017 transferred the eastern portion of Redlynch parish, including Hamptworth, to Landford.

The latter began as a National School of 1867 on Hamptworth common, then in the 20th century the village of Nomansland expanded to surround it.

[4][9] A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1876 near the north end of Lyburn Road; it closed in the 1970s.

[10] Hamptworth Lodge is a country house built in 1912 in the Tudor style, to designs of Sir Guy Dawber.

It was built to replace a seventeenth century building, parts of which have been incorporated into the present structure.
