Tintwistle history

---

Tintwistle was a rural district in England consisting of one parish. After 1936, it shared the rare but not unique distinction of being a Rural District in England. In 1974, the nearby urban areas of Cheshire were placed in the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester. Placing it in the new non-metropolitan county would have left it an exclave. Instead it became part of the High Peak district of Derbyshire.

Tintwistle etymology

The -twistle part of the name is derived from the Old English twisla, meaning “confluence” The first part possibly preserves a Brittonic river-name, an old name for the River Etherow of the *Tīn- type (compare River Tyne)
