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.^{[citation needed]}
