Tytherleigh is a village in the civil parish of Chardstock in Devon, England (historically in Dorset),[1] close to the borders with Dorset and Somerset on the A358 road between the towns of Axminster and Chard.

[2] The place-name, first recorded in 1154 as Tiderlege, is from the Old English tīedre "thin" or "tender" and lēah "woodland", and therefore means "thin or tender woodland".

[4] Part of Tytherleigh manor house survives as a farmhouse, dating from the 16th century,[5] with a gateway arch bearing the family coat of arms.

[6] The village is on the route of the Fosse Way Roman Road.
