Kellaways, also known as Tytherton Kellaways, is a village and former ecclesiastical parish in the present-day

Langley Burrell Without and ceremonial county of Wiltshire, England. Its nearest town is Chippenham
, which lies 2.5 miles (4.0 km) southwest from the hamlet. Historically, the name was sometimes given as Gallows.

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]
