Jodrell Bank, Cheshire

I wasn't suggesting that Twemlow dates from 5th C, I was stating that Anglo Saxon place names in general would date from that time. It's a very posh hamlet even now. Surnames indeed date from much later and generally fall into a few ...

The Real Meaning of Mary, Mary Quite Contrary
