The Sign
The sign is made of cast metal panel containing the village name fixed above the noticeboard which stands at the crossroads in the village centre. The cast iron railings fixed to the low brick wall on either side of the sign were produced in the High Street foundry of George Bloomfield in 1851. They are the only known examples of the village’s industrial past and formed part of a culvert at Cross Green, southwest of the village centre. They were dismantled and were saved from being scrapped by Bernard Pleasance, being placed in their present location in December 2001 (Village Sign Database).

The village had a population of 230 in 2005. It was known as Thelueteham or Teluetteham in 1086, Theluetham in 1095 and Thelnetham in 1254. The name possibly means "The swan enclosure or river meadow by the plank bridge" from Old English.
