Sherfield English appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as the manor of Sirefelle, derived from the Anglo-Saxon scir feld, which probably means "bright open land". The suffix "English" probably comes from the L'Engleys family, who held the manor in the 14th century.
The parish church is dedicated to St Leonard, and the current building dates from 1902 and is Grade II listed. The village also contains a village hall, a post office and a pub, The Hatchet Inn.
