The village of Twywell is located near the A604 approximately 3 miles west of Thrapston. It was recorded in the Domesday Book as Twowelle but can be dated back to the Iron Age. The Manor House Farm dates from 1591 and some of the building material is thought to have come from an old monastery situated between Slipton and Sudborough at a site known as 'Money Holes'. The village is centred along the High Street and The Green and there are no less than nine buildings of special architectural or historic interest contained within the Parish. The population in 1991 was 179 with 87 dwellings: the estimate for 1995 was a population of 181 and a dwelling stock of 88. The village is served by mains drainage, a butcher (shown in the photo), an off-licence and a public house. It is visited by a mobile greengrocer and library. A bus service operates to Thrapston and Kettering. Twywell Hills & Dales Country Park is nearby and provides attractive countryside walks.
