Old English pinc "minnow" + Old Norse bekkr "stream". A family long associated with the area took its name from the village, one member of which was Christopher Pinchbeck, a watchmaker responsible for the invention of the Pinchbeck alloy, which was once used for imitating gold in cheap jewellery.
The Church of England parish church is dedicated to Saint Mary, and is around 900 years old. It has a wide nave with mid-12th-century arches, and a 15th-century single hammer-beam roof supported by large gilded angels carrying the heraldic escutcheons of the Pinchbeck family. The chancel is by restorer Herbert Butterfield. St Mary's Church is a Grade I listed building.
