Brynsworthy is shown as 'Brimsworthy' on Donn's map of 1765 & as 'Brinsworthy' on the 1804/5 OS Surveyor's Draft. It seems to have originated as an extension into open moor in medieval times. In 1840 the fields to the north consisted of long narrow strips suggesting a medieval open field system which respected the curving boundary to the east of Brynsworthy.
