Twizell House

Twizell House is a small settlement near Warenford in Northumberland in the civil parish of Adderstone and Lucker. It takes its name from Twizell House, which was a large country house, demolished in 1969. Parts of the estate around the House remain, including two gateway lodges and the walled garden. The North Lodge is a Grade II listed building .George Selby (1724–1804) bought the Twizell estate and it was inherited by his son Prideaux John Selby (1789–1867), who was an eminent naturalist. Prideaux improved the Twizell property, including the walled garden of 1819 (Grade II listed)[1]. Pevsner notes building by architect George Wyatt c1812.[2] Twizell House was demolished in 1969, but the name is still used for the area of the old estate. The small village to the west is called Twizell (possibly developed for estate workers). This is not to be confused with Twizell Castle, located about 17 miles north-west in the parish of Duddo.
