The name Penton is derived from Penitone, which is a farm held at penny rent. The village is adjacent to the hamlet and parish of Penton Grafton. Both villages are collectively known as The Pentons.
A church was mentioned here in the Domesday book, but the present building dates from about 1365 and little has been added since.
Burials in the churchyard include war graves of airmen killed in some of the earliest flying accidents of The Great War, and the granite obelisk to William Cubitt, a founder in the nineteenth century of the famous civil engineering firm of that name.
In all there are 15 wargraves.
