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
Historically, the parish of "Tyringham with Filgrave" (or "Tyringham cum Filgrave") was first created in 1639[3][4] by the union of two parishes.
The modern civil parish is Tyringham and Filgrave, consisting of these two villages and their surrounding area.[5] At the 2001 census, the population of the parish was 190.[6]
Historically, Tyringham on its own once contained only two houses, but was a village in its own right because it had an ecclesiastic parish.
