Overlooking the Minsmere river, with a green area outside the pub, the village should properly be known as Middleton cum Fordley. At one time both settlements had churches which shared the same yard, but the parishes were eventually united "because bells and people at one church disturbed those of the other". The only remaining trace of Fordley is the 16th cent. Hall. Middleton was recorded in Domesday as "Mideltuna". Middleton Moor, with the 15th - 16th cent. Moor Farm is a large green to the west of the village.

Mill Street marks the location of a post mill which was demolished in 1913.
