Odell is a very old village which dates back to before the Roman invasion, there is evidence of a farm which pre-dates that era. The evidence shows that the farm was abandoned in the 4th century and it them remained unoccupied until about the 6th or 7th century. Where the present village is situated today was part of five hides that were owned during the 11th century by a thane of King Edward the Confessor, who owned most of the land at that time. The village was then known as Wadelle or Wadehelle, the meaning of this name is thought to be the hill where woad grows, woad was an important source of blue dye, which has been thought to be used to decorate the faces and bodies by the ancient Britons. After the battle of Hastings in 1066, the Normans with William the Conqueror taking the lead, took control of the whole of England and in many cases lands were passed onto fellow soldiers in battle.
