[2] The name, recorded in the Domesday Book as Titelege, is Old English and apparently means "woodland clearing of a man called Titta".

[4] Titley lies at the junction of two drovers' roads and a local pub was, at one time, used for the weighing of wool.

The Stagg Inn, known as The Balance until 1833, became in 2001 the first pub in the United Kingdom to be awarded a Michelin Star.

A landscaped park was laid out around the house, and an existing kettle lake, Titley Pool, was enlarged.

[8] Titley village hall is situated directly behind The Stagg Inn and is available for hire, as well as being regularly used by the parish council and other local organisations such as the WI, Scouts & Brownies, garden and bowls clubs.
