== History == Pentlow was recorded in the Domesday Book as Pentelawa, a name of Norman origin. The most notable landmark in the area, St Gregory and St George's church, was built by Norman settlers and dates from the 12th century. Considering the age of the Church, the condition of the Norman carvings is magnificent. Pentlow's inhabitants throughout history have been employed mainly in agriculture.
