East Tytherton is a hamlet in the civil parish of Bremhill in the ceremonial county of Wiltshire, England. Its nearest town is Chippenham, which lies approximately {{convert|2.7|mi}} south-west from the hamlet.

Geography

East Tytherton is located on a minor road in a valley some {{convert|2.7|mi}} northeast of Chippenham and a similar distance northwest of Calne in the civil parish of Bremhill.[1] It has a rectangular village green around which the grey stone manor and the other residences are clustered. One timber-framed house has painted brick walls and a corrugated iron roof.[2]

History

A house at East Tytherton was bought by preacher John Cennick in 1742 and a Moravian community was founded in 1745; a chapel, manse and church cottage were built for the community. The manse and chapel were rebuilt between 1792 and 1793 and a schoolroom was added in 1793-1794.[3] The chapel, manse and former schoolroom are red brick buildings with ashlar dressings and stone slate roofs, and are Grade II* listed.[4] The chapel is a single storey structure with a pair of two-storey houses attached at either end. The manse has a timber bell-cot at the east end.[2] As of 2016, the church is still in use.[5]

The Moravian school was built to house fifty pupils and at one time actually had seventy.[2] The school closed in 1931.[6] Nearby, a British school opened in 1871 and became a County school in the 20th century,[7] later named Maud Heath School. Pupil numbers declined from the 1950s and the school closed at the end of 2005.[8] In 2016 the building was an activity centre for Girl Guides.[9]
