Twizell (Whalton)

Twizell and Twizell Cottages are hamlets in the Civil Parish of Whalton in Northumberland. Twizell Cottages are located about 3½ miles north of Ponteland and 5 miles south-west of Morpeth. Twizell (farm) is about a ¼ mile west of this, by the River Blyth, close to where Ogle Burn joins the river at Twizell Banks. The medieval village of Twizell was first documented in 1242, but was largely deserted by the early 17th century.[1] Twizell Farmhouse dates from the mid 18th Century and is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.[2] The farm provides a good example of an early planned foldyard layout of farm buildings.

Not to be confused with Twizell (Adderstone with Lucker), or Twizell (Duddo), both are also in Northumberland.
