East Tytherley is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England.[2][3] The village lies in the Test Valley district, about 6 miles (10 km) north-west of Romsey and 9 miles (14 km) east of Salisbury, Wiltshire. The parish population at the 2021 census was 200.[1]
The name Tytherley comes from Old English and means thin or tender wood.[4]
The village was given to Queen Philippa by her husband Edward III in 1335. When the Black Death spread through London she moved her court to the village.[5]
The village church is St Peter’s. Built in rubble flint with stone dressings, it largely dates from the 13th century, with a heavy restoration between 1862 and 1863.[6] A tower on the north side was completed in 1898.[6] The church is a Grade II* listed building.[7]
In more recent history, William Fothergill Cooke invented the first commercial electrical telegraph whilst living in the village.
