The 19th century Putley Church. A delightful scene in the small village of Putley with a pond and the old church. A lovely example of 'High Church', or Anglo-Catholic style, incorporating pieces of an earlier medieval church on the site, including several 13th century windows and a piscina of similar age. There are a total of 49 listed buildings in Putley.
Court Farm at Aylton. Large farms, such as Court Farm and the White House, are now private houses and the surrounding land is farmed by those living outside the village. There are no shops, and little in the way of amenities; many of the farms and farm buildings are listed. The village church dates to the 12th century.
