In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Tytherton like this:
KELLAWAYS, CALLOES, or TYTHERTON-KELWAYS, a parish in Chippenham district, Wilts; on the river Avon, and the Great Western railway, 3 miles NE of Chippenham. Post town, Chippenham. Acres, 140. Real property, £1, 747. Pop., 18. Houses, 4. The manor belongs to the Earl of Carnarvon. Freshets of the Avon used to overflow the land; and they occasioned the construction, in 1474, of a paved causeway "for the good of travellers." A Moravian settlement was established here in the time of Wesley and Whitfield. ...
The living is a rectory in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. Value, £82. Patron, not reported. The church is modern.
