Pusey is a village and civil parish 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Faringdon in the Vale of White Horse district in Oxfordshire, England.

There is a tradition that it was granted to the family by Cnut the Great, by the delivery of a horn (an Anglo-Saxon form of land tenure known as "cornage").

[3] In Anglo-saxon an inscription on the horn reads: "Kyng Knowde geue Wyllyam Pewte thys horne to holde by thy land" ("King Canute gave William Pusey this horn to hold by [it] the land") In 1753, the family built Pusey House (not to be confused with Pusey House, Oxford), a Grade II* listed country house.

Edward Bouverie Pusey, English churchman and Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, was born there in 1800.

[4] The south transept monument was built by Peter Scheemakers in memory of John Allen Pusey and his wife Jane.
