The settlement and wider rural area historically had a larger population than now, especially in medieval times. Heath Chapel is a Norman Grade I Listed building.[1] The civil parish was abolished on 1 April 2017 and merged with Abdon to form Abdon and Heath.[2]

Nearby are the larger settlements of Bouldon and Clee St. Margaret. Heath lies at approximately 240 metres (790 ft) above sea level.[3]
