The parish was named for the Church of St Cuthbert, Wells and was created in 1866.[1] The historic ecclesiastical parish of Wells St Cuthbert had been split into two, with the Wells St Cuthbert Out parish covering the area outside the city of Wells.
On 1 April 1933 the civil parish was merged with Wells St Andrew (the historic liberty of the cathedral and the bishop's palace, amounting to just 52 acres (21 ha))[2] to form the present-day parish of Wells,[3] which covers all of the city. In 1931 the parish had a population of 4541.[4]
The civil parish of St Cuthbert Out continues to exist (though now often without "Wells" in its name) and entirely surrounds the 1933-created parish of Wells.
