East Putford is a small settlement and
Holsworthy and Bideford, is surrounded clockwise from the north by the parishes of Parkham, Buckland Brewer, Bulkworthy, West Putford, and Woolfardisworthy.[1] In 2001 its population was 103, slightly lower than the 125 residents it had in 1901.[2]
The western boundary of the parish is formed by the
deconsecrated and used as a farm building,[4] though by 2004 both the building and its churchyard were overgrown.[2]
Two farmhouses in the parish are of interest. Mambury was a freehold estate from its origin in the 12th century, and Winslade, near the top of Melbury Hill, was the home of John Wynslade who was executed for his part in the Prayer Book Rebellion of 1549.[2][3]
