Tupsley was first recorded in 1870-72 and was described as a small village within Herefordshire and close to the city of Hereford. [3] John Marius Wilson's 1870-1872 Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales says:

"TUPSLEY, a township-chapelry in Bishop-Hampton parish, Herefordshire; 2 miles E of Hereford r. station. Post town, Hereford. Real property, £5,247. Pop., 802. Houses, 149. The living is a p. curacy in the diocese of Hereford. Value, £240.* Patron, the Bishop of HThe[ sic ] church was built in 1866." [3]

In 1866 Tupsley became a separate civil parish, on 1 October 1932 the parish was abolished to form Hereford. [4] In 1931 the parish had a population of 1455. [5] Until 1998 it was in Hereford district.

The village remained separate from the wider Hereford area until after the Second World War [6] when it was then merged into the city's wider wards and represented in both the counties of Hereford and Worcester and Herefordshire under Hereford City Council. Today, the village is now merged with Bartonsham, Eign Hill, and The Hamptons areas of Hereford.
