Inworth village dates back to medieval times, and has been known in the past as Ineworth, Inneworth, Inneworde and Inford. A placename close to the modern name is first attested in the Curia Regis Rolls of 1206, where it appears as Inewrth. This derives from Ina's worþ ("Ina's homestead").[2]

The grave of local celebrity 'Spotty', a faithful golden retriever, can be found by the village post office, attracting many visitors. His ghost is said to haunt the meat shop on the corner.[3]

All Saints' Church dates from the 11th century and is a grade I listed building.[4]

On 1 October 1934 the parish was abolished to form "Messing-cum-Inworth" and "Tiptree", part also went to Feering.[5]
