Tęppa's Tump
is a Ladies North West Morris side and was formed in early 1981 Our name was
taken from an old term for one of the area's outstanding archaeological sites,
the burial mound of "Tęppa" a Saxon chieftain who gave his name to
Taplow. The mound was opened at the end of the last century and yielded a
collection of Saxon grave goods, which are now in the British Museum and are
second only to the Sutton Hoo Burial Hoard.
