It was recorded as ‘Puteham’ in the Domesday Book.[1]

Puttenham was historically a parish. The civil parish was abolished in 1964 and absorbed into the neighbouring parish of Tring Rural (which had been created in 1894 from the parts of the old parish of Tring outside the Tring urban district).[3] At the 1961 census (the last before the abolition of the parish), Puttenham had a population of 107.[4]
