The village name is an Old English language word, and means 'Tir's home'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Telingham.
There is a theory that the name Tyringham refers to a settlement of Thuringii Germans coming with the Anglo-Saxons in the Dark Ages.[2]
Civil parish
editHistorically, the parish of 'Tyringham with Filgrave' (or 'Tyringham cum Filgrave') was first created in 1639 by the union of two parishes.[3][4]
The modern civil parish is Tyringham and Filgrave, consisting of these two villages and their surrounding area.[5] At the 2021 census, the population of the parish was 225.[1] Historically, Tyringham on its own once contained only two houses, but was deemed a village in its own right because it had an ecclesiastic parish.[citation needed]
