At the time of the Domesday Book (1086), the manor was held by Amesbury Abbey.^[2] In 1825 the parish contained seventy-eight houses and had a population of 369.^[3] By 1841 the parish of Maddington extended east and south of the village.^[4]

For local government purposes, Maddington was added to the adjoining Shrewton parish on 1 April 1934.^[5][4] As Shrewton expanded during the 20th century, Maddington became an area of Shrewton.

St Mary's Church was built in the 13th century, then partly rebuilt in the 17th and 19th.^[6] It was declared redundant in 1975 and is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.^[7]

Maddington Manor is a two-storey 18th-century house in brick, remodelled and extended at the front in the 1830s.^[8]
