Twineham history

Place name

The name is Old English in origin, meaning ‘(Place) between the streams’, from the OE ‘betwēonan’: between, amongst, and ‘ēa’ (dative plural ēam): river, stream. Recorded as Tuineam (late 11th century), Tuynhe, Twyne (13th century); Twynym (15th century)

Early history

In Anglo-Saxon times it was a royal manor. It was also known as a royal residence in Saxon times. It is located in the middle of the Middle Ages.

Later history

In 1856, Twineham had many more services than today: a post office, general shop, butchers, dairy, shoe menders, blacksmith and wheelwright. In 1911, the village started to get its piped water supply from the Burgess Hill Water Company. In 1928, the roads were surfaced, and electricity came to the village in 1936.
