The name Selwood is first recorded in Old English around 894 as ''Seluudu'' which some etymologists consider to derive from ''Sealhwudu'' or ''Sallow wood''.
Roddenbury Hillfort is a univallate Iron Age hillfort. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and on the Heritage at Risk register.
Selwood Forest is an area of woodland on the borders between Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire in south west England. In Anglo-Saxon times it was far more substantial and covered a much greater area forming a natural barrier between the Anglo-Saxons of Wessex and the Britons of Dumnonia and the Severn Valley. It was also the site of Hales Castle.
The parish was part of the hundred of Frome.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕
