Twywell history

---

The name “Twywell” is recorded in the Domesday Book as Twowelle but can be dated back to the Iron Age. It is likely that this manor was given to Northman miles (“Northman the knight”) in 1013 by King Æthelred II.

Industrial history

Iron ore was quarried in the area at various times between the 1880s and 1974. Some of the quarries also obtained clay for brick making in the early days and a limestone quarry operated between 1917 and 1943. The area was designated a site of special scientific interest and is a nature reserve and country park.
