Twinstead history
Etymology
The name Twinstead was first recorded in the Domesday Book as Tumesteda. Twinn is Old English for double, while stede is a place, thus Twinstead can be defined as double homestead.
The Manor House
This belonged to Richard Fitz-Gilbert in 1086 as he was the lord of the area, and then during the reign of Henry the Second was passed to Steven de Beauchamp. After his passing he was succeeded by his son Stephen who then went on to pass it to his three sisters as he bore no children. After many years of changing ownership by 1374 it was passed on to Simon Sudbury, the archbishop of Canterbury.
