What is "teffont"

Teffont is a civil parish in the south of Wiltshire, England, consisting of the villages of Teffont Magna and Teffont Evias. It is in the Nadder valley, about west of Salisbury. The population taken at the 2011 census was 248.

The parish was created in 1934 by combining the two Teffonts. For most of its history Teffont Magna had been a chapelry of Dinton.

Part of Chilmark Quarries, a former stone quarry and now a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is in the far southwest of the parish.
