Twywell is a village and civil parish〔(Parish Council contact details )〕 in the English county of Northamptonshire. Located just to the north of the A14 road approximately three miles west of Thrapston, Twywell forms part of the district of East Northamptonshire. At the time of the 2011 census, the population of the parish was 176.〔(Office for National Statistics: Twywell CP: Parish headcounts ) Retrieved 19 July 2015.〕 ==History== 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. This Northman is thought to be Northman, son of Leofwine.〔Baxter, ''Earls of Mercia'', p. 31; ''PASE'', s.v. (Northman 5 ); (Sawyer 931 )〕 This charter was preserved in the archives of Thorney Abbey, which in the 1050s was one of the abbeys controlled by Northman's relation Abbot Leofric of Peterborough.〔Baxter, ''Earls of Mercia'', pp. 19 (figure 2.1), 30.〕 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'. Twywell was the birthplace of the bluestocking writer Hester Chapone, née Mulso, whose conduct book ''Letters on the Improvement of the Mind'' (1773), addressed to a 15-year-old niece, remained influential and regularly reprinted for over fifty years.〔ODNB entry: (Retrieved 3 August 2011.
