Tytherington is a small village in Wiltshire, in the south west of England. It is situated near the A36, near Warminster, and by the River Wylye. Most of it is now part of the civil parish of Heytesbury, Imber and Knook, but a few houses are within the parish of Sutton Veny. Marked only on large-scale maps, it lies to the west of Sutton Veny and to the south of Heytesbury.
