Teversham is a very small village in Cambridgeshire located roughly 2 miles (3 km) from Fulbourn, and is roughly 5 miles (8 km) from Cambridge. It is a small village compared to neighbouring ones. Its school is criticised for being at a frustrating corner, hence a large cause of traffic. Also, circa 2003, speed bumps and other car speeding equipment were introduced, helping to stop the constant speeding through the village, as Teversham is essentially just one large road.
Children initially attend primary school in the village and usually then go on to Bottisham Village College.

[edit] Population
The population of Teversham is estimated to be around 2,050, according to the Cambridgeshire Survey in 2006. It is a significant growth from 1957, when the population was a minuscule 780, according to surveys at the time. Around 2005, a housing development took place, which greatly increased the population in time for the survey.
[edit] Facilities
Teversham is favoured for its general quietness[citation needed][who?]. It had a lovely pub, the Rose & Crown, situated in the main intersection on the High Street which closed down and remained vacant for a number of years. However since the summer of 2008, it underwent full refurbishment and opened its doors, this time as Tamarind Indian Cuisine. Website - [1]. Teversham has been criticised for its lack of shops and other useful facilities, which only became worse as of 2002 when the Post Office closed down, causing an uproar from the Teversham Community of Old-Age Pensioners and Mothers (TCOAPM). However since the opening of the restaurant, it has invigorated a new breath of life into the village and has proved to be a much needed and welcomed commodity. The church is considered 'ancient', dating back to an estimated 910, however, the exact year is undecided.
