Description Twyford House was originally built about 1760 by the Handcock Family of Waterstown House, Glassan, but passed into the ownership of the Hodson Family, at the end of the 18th century. In 1814 John Hodson was resident and E Hodson in 1837. Valued at £24 John Hodson was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), holding the property from John Longsworth. The Hodsons continued to reside at Twyford until it was sold about 1960. The house is now derelict.
