History & geography

History

An early ecclesiastical site known as Íseal Chiaráin is associated with the Twyford area; the Office of Public Works notes that no surface remains of this ecclesiastical site are now visible. The nearby Twyford estate developed as a country demesne from the 18th century, with Twyford House described in estate records as built around 1760 for the Handcock family (later connected to the Hodson family).
