Though the name does not appear in documentary sources before 1275, it probably had a pre-conquest origin, and may have provided Tavistock Abbey with meat and milk. In the 15th century and probably earlier, it was the residence of one of the chief lay officials of the abbey. Because so many Hundred meetings of Tavistock took place here, it sometimes took the name of Hundred of Hurdwick.

When the Abbot of Tavistock divided the manor into two in the 12th century, constituting the urban part of it a borough, the remainder became the manor of Hurdwick. Some parts of the original manorial boundary remain.
