The village is the principal population centre of the electoral ward called Teignbridge North. The population of the ward at the 2011 census is 2,715.[1]

The Grade II* listed church of St Mary[2] is at Town Barton, the former site of the village which is northwest of the present one. The west tower has diagonal buttresses and a polygonal stair turret. The nave is unusually wide; the north transept and the north aisle may be 14th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1868.[3]

Edward Gee was rector of Tedburn St Mary from 1599 to 1618.

Tedburn St Mary won the Calor Village of the Year competition in 2001.
