'''William Thomas Putt''' (1725-1797), [[Bachelor of Civil Law|BCL]] was an 18th century clergyman and squire.
==Background==
William Putt, born in 1725, was the son of Raymundo Putt of Combe, Gittisham, in Devon. He was educated at [[Sherborne School|Sherborne]], and [[Balliol College, Oxford]] where he obtained a [[Bachelor of Civil Law|BCL]] in 1751.<ref></ref>
The Rev Putt's father had succeeded to Combe and the manor of Gittisham when his first cousin, Sir Thomas Putt Bt, died without issue in 1721. The house and manor had been acquired in 1614 by Raymundo's great-grandfather, Nicholas Putt of Smallridge, Somerset (see the [[Manor of Gittisham]]). After his father's death, the manor passed to his eldest son, Thomas, a barrister, who died without heirs in 1787, the manor then passing to his younger brother the Rev Putt.
==Tom Putt Apple==
The Rev Putt's elder brother, Thomas, or Black Tom as he was known, is generally held to be the originator of the highly regarded [[Tom Putt]] cider apple.
