Village Life
Teversham has a well-reputed primary school, a parish church, a Victorian chapel, Conservative Club, a recreation ground and Indian restaurant. Children initially attend primary school in the village and usually then go on to Bottisham Village College.
The village's only pub, the Rose and Crown, situated in the main intersection on the High Street closed down and remained vacant until summer 2008 when it underwent full refurbishment as a restaurant. 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.

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or life:
“While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January,—wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for. It may be that he lays up no treasures in this world which will cool his summer drink in the next.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all.... I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
