History

Freystrop was under the Lordship of Haverford. The land was originally an open field and common land system in mediaeval times, with enclosure taking place in the 18th century. Alongside agriculture, coal had been mined, possibly seasonally by farmers and their workers. By the middle of the 19th century, coal mining had accelerated, alongside suppression of agriculture.

Village

Over several centuries, two parts of the village developed, Lower Freystrop to the north, mostly of older properties, and newer Freystrop (or Freystrop Cross) with generally newer properties. There is a Congregational place of worship in the village.
