The name Whethill means 'Wheat hill'[6] and was recorded in the Domesday Book as Waltham.[7] The family of Whethill were for centuries the Lords of the manor here. In 1380 John Whethill of Whethill was Lord.[8] Presumably it was his son or grandson, Sir Richard Whethill, Knt., (1410-1485) who was a rich merchant of the Staple at Calais in the middle of the 15th century.[9]
On 1 April 1967 Loughton and Silvington parishes were merged with Wheathill.[10]
