Although earlier remains, such as Roman coins and pottery, have been found in the area, the current settlement dates from after the Domesday Book's compilation in 1086.As the potteries declined, coal mining, already present on a smaller scale providing fuel for the potters' kilns, expanded to meet the needs of the Industrial Revolution.[8] A smaller recreation ground with a football pitch, is located in the centre of the village on Wrenthorpe Lane.Wrenthorpe Cricket Club's senior teams compete in the Bradford Premier League.[citation needed] Wrenthorpe Cricket Club equalled the record of consecutive Heavy Woollen cup final victories, with four wins in a row.
