Map of East Tytherley, Salisbury, UK
The name Tytherley comes from Old English and means thin or tender wood.
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.
In more recent history William Fothergill Cooke invented the first commercial electrical telegraph whilst living in the village.
In early 2017 East Tytherley United was established. This football team brought together talented footballers from the local area, including players such the likes of Jack Harvie and Charlie Pointer. The promising team now currently plays in their budget stadium Tytherley Park near by the old norman church, and are on track to be playing in the Barclay's Premier League in the near future.
