The village has Anglo-Saxon origins and was known as Tanewotha or Thane's Worth. As the name denotes the village lay in the forest of Arden, though the Arden suffix was only added to the name in the 19th century. Tanworth was part of the manor of Brailes at the time of the Domesday Book. By the early 13th century it was a manor in it's own right held by the Earl of Warwick. Tanworth was a poor parish, being mostly woodland until fairly recently. The land around the village remains mostly agricultural.
The village church is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and dates from the early 14th century. The pub, the Bell Inn, had as it's licensee for a long time, champion boxer Jack Hood.
The village has no railway station of it's own though sits between and within walking distance of Danzey and Wood End railway stations, the former was for a time known as Danzey for Tanworth.
