Neolithic tools (polished axes and aphanite, scrapers and pieces of sandstone grinding wheels) were discovered in various places of the communal territory and even on the site of the current village. The site of Cendrey lends itself admirably to the installation of a Neolithic village, since it is about a spur. " murgers" located at the base of this spurs indicate that this one was undoubtedly barred. Cendrey was incrivait thus in the list of the barred spurs which flank Ognon on left bank.

With the place known as " Combe in Francs" , of the pieces of tiles with edge and ceramics attest the presence of a Gallo-Roman construction, which one can date from the end of IVe century.

At the beginning of the century, a Curage of the brook Beune made it possible to update, with the place known as " The Pre one of Taureau" , two stone sarcophagi of the time mérovingienne. A few years ago, a very reduced survey, carried out on the same place made it possible to discover a tomb in open ground of the same time, but this burial did not contain any furniture. It is probable that a small cemetery mérovingien is there.

In 1182, Pierre, provost of the abbey of the Large-Saint-Bernard, concede with the Saint-Paul abbey of Besancon, with the help of a payable taxable quota of 8 grounds to the dedication of Saint-Etienne, the church of Cendrey. The canons of the Large-Saint-Bernard reserve a right of lodging for 3 or 4 horses once per annum, if they would come to the known as place.

From this date the history of Cendrey will merge with that of the famous Besancon-native abbey, whose policy seems to have been as much as possible to increase its goods on Cendrey, either by purchases, or by resumptions of Fiefs. Indeed, the Finage of Cendrey is divided in great number of small strongholds concerned with small local lords.

In 1227, Aymon, wire of Barthelemy say Clerc of Larians, restore with the church of Saint-Paul the right which it had on the church of Cendrey and its dependences; by the same act, it makes donation with the church of Saint-Paul of all its goods present and to come in Cendrey.

In 1237, Hugues, brother of Etienne de Larians, make a donation in alms with the church of Saint-Paul, of all the rights which it had on the church of Cendrey and its dependences. Two years later, it is Etienne de Larians, known as Gaweyns, which give to the church of Saint-Paul of the rights that it had on the church of Cendrey, rights that it states to hold of the aforesaid the church of Saint-Paul. In 1241, the priors and the chapter of the Saint-Paul church give to Humbert, known as Roguier de Cendrey, a meix located in this place with the goods while depending, which Roguier, because of this donation, recognizes man and subject of the priors and the chapter of Saint-Paul.

In 1265, the Saint-Paul abbey still increases his field with Cendrey by two purchases. The first purchase is made in Jean, is said Malugard, of the men and the subjects taillables, their meix and the grounds while spending the sum of 204 pounds estevenats. The second purchase is more modest, since for 19 pounds estevenants. Renaud de Rognon, damoiseau, sell with the abbey pre and a field located at the place known as " Prerepone" , which patches of land are called " the Saint-Pierre" field;.

In July 1281, Renaud, known as Afermous, of Bavans, damoiseau, takes again in stronghold of Saint-Paul several subjects and their meix. In September of the same year, it is Pierre de Verchamps, knight, and Clemence, his wife, who take again in stronghold subjects and all that they had in Cendrey, because of the succession of the aforesaid the Clemence. The following year, the Etienne brothers and Guy, damoiseaux, wire of the lord of the Coast, with the abbey all sells that they had in Cendrey as men, grounds, meadows, meix and forests, for the price of 35 pounds.

In 1285, Pierre said Against, damoiseau, sell with the abbey three meix filled for the price of 45 pounds estevenants. In 1298, Vuillemin, priest and Jean, his brother give to the abbey in perpetual alms the 9th part of the grosses and small said of Cendrey and its fining, the 15th part of the fruits which will arrive in the future in the drudgery of Renaud de Sorans, located at the fining of Cendrey, the 15th part of those of the drudgery located against the level of Cendrey.

Sales and recoveries and strongholds follow one another XIIe century, thus making it possible the Saint-Paul abbey to increase his goods with Cendrey. In 1306, the abbot of Saint-Paul and the priest of Cendrey agree that the abbey would have the 2/3 of the oblations and made alms with the aforementioned church and generally of all its goods.

The following year, the disease prevails again and in fact still one the third of the survivors disappears.

As an owner of the church, the abbey introduces a candidate and keeps the 2/3 of the parochial incomes, which represents, at the end of XVe century, 200 pennies and 10 books of wax; when to the Said they bring back to the same time 46 bichots of grain.

It is at the beginning of XVe century that was built on the brook Beune, the mill of Oiselet.
