The Berks and Hants Extension Railway, opened from Hungerford to Devizes in 1862, passes north of Bottlesford. Sometime after 1958[2] the boundary of Woodborough parish was moved south to follow the railway, transferring the north end of Bottlesford into Woodborough.[3] The properties immediately north of the railway are labelled as Free Trade on a 1958 map,[2] but that name is not used today.[3]

Until sometime after 1971, Bottlesford was within Manningford parish, in the tithing of Manningford Bohune which had been part of Wilsford parish until 1871.[2]
