The village name probably originates from Old English 'Frithorne,' meaning 'Freo's thorn.' A public footpath 50 metres west of the church leads to Hock Cliff at the River Severn (at its widest pre-estuary point), which is popular with fossil hunters. On 24 March 1884 the parish was abolished to form "Fretherne with Saul".
