Another Millenium memorial sign, this sits on one corner of the triangular village green. Tewin has most of the features typical of English country villages, a Church, two pubs, a village green, a red telephone box and a shop and post office. The river Mimram runs to the south, and is depicted on the sign, along with various motifs of country life, including a badger, fruits, flowers, children playing on the green and the village church, St Peter’s.

The village name has Saxon roots, as God’s meadow (Tew’s ing). A tombstone in the churchyard, a short distance south of the main village is split by Sycamore and Ash trees. The tomb belongs to Lady Anne Grimston (d 1710), who professed a cynicism concerning the afterlife. The story goes that she predicted her tomb would be split if such a thing existed – though it would of course have been easily arranged for seeds to be buried with her…
The singer, Kim Wylde attended Junior School here in Tewin.
