Historical Description
PUTLEY is a parish 3 miles south from Ashperton station on the Hereford and Worcester section of the Great Western railway and 5 miles west from Ledbury, in the Southern division of the county, Greytree hundred, Ledbury union, county court district and petty sessional division, rural deanery of Frome (south division) and archdeaconry and diocese of Hereford. By Local Government Board Orders (1885) some parts of Ashperton, Munsley and Woolhope were transferred to this parish and a part of Putley to Woolhope. The church (name unknown) is a plain edifice of stone in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave and south porch and a western turret with oak shingled spire, supported on four posts inside the church and containing 3 bells: the pulpit and low chancel screen were made from a 17th century oak pew belonging to Putley Court: the windows, which are all stained, were presented by John Riley esq. of Putley Court: the church was reopened in 1876, after restoration, carried out at an expenditure of £1,400, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Blashill, architect, of London: in the churchyard is an ancient stone cross, with carvings of the Crucifixion, the Virgin and Child, St. Andrew, and, on the fourth side, of an archbishop; carved oak stalls in chancel and a reredos have since been added, also a spacious vestry erected on the south side, at the expense of John Riley esq. The register dates from the year 1561.

M.A., D.L., J.P. of Putley Court, a handsome mansion built in 1712, is lord of the manor and principal landowner: in excavating near Putley Court, in 1878, the workmen found fragments of the ruins of Roman buildings, including a quantity of tiles.
