Tytherington, Wiltshire
Tytherington is a small village in Wiltshire, in the southwest of England. It lies on the south side of the Wylye valley, about southeast of the town of Warminster and southwest of the larger village of Heytesbury. Most of the village is now part of the civil parish of Heytesbury although a few houses in the west are within the parish of Sutton Veny.
John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales said of Tytherington:
The small Anglican Church of St James is Grade II* listed. A church was founded here in the early 12th century but the present building is mainly from the 16th, and was restored in 1891 by C.E. Ponting. It has always been a chapel of St Peter and St Paul at Heytesbury; it has no graveyard. Today the parish is served by the Upper Wylye Valley team ministry.
Manor Farmhouse, at the north entrance to the village, is a 4-bay 2-storey house from the early 18th century, extended and altered in the 19th. In the Sutton Veny part of the village, Ashbys carries a date of 1771; nearby are a dovecote dated 1810 and a granary and stable of similar date.
Tytherington Down is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.
