The parish was formed on 1 April 1895 as a replacement for Avon parish.[1] On 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished and its area was added to Langley Burrell Without.[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 37.[3]
The manor house is from the 17th century and is Grade II* listed.[4]
There was a water mill on the River Avon, marked as disused on a 1959 map.[5] The present building, now a house, is from the late 17th and 18th centuries;[6] nearby stands the mill-owner's house of c. 1800.[7]
The small church of St Giles was built c. 1800, in ashlar with a slate roof and an octagonal cupola.[8] The building replaced an earlier structure which was attached to the mill, first recorded in 1304.[9] Today the ecclesiastical parish of Tytherton Kellaways is part of the Draycot benefice.[10]
