TWYFORD
Old English 'twifyrd'='double ford'. The Itchen today runs here in two and then three main channels. One is crossed by the ford referred to in SHAWFORD; this appears to be the ford downstream from Twyford over the eastern channel. It is not known how the river has changed its bed in 1000 years, if at all.

Mr. Philepotte dwellith by Twyforde.
Minns says:- The 'worshipful family' of Philpot, settled at Twyford in the 15th century. This was probably Peter Philpot, who served the office of Sheriff of Hants in 1535. His son John, Archdeacon of Winchester, the Protestant martyr, was burnt at Smithfield, 1535.
