Tewin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tewin is a village in the British county of Hertfordshire, between the towns of Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage. Its population is approximately 2500.
Some of its inhabitants work locally, while many commute to London each day. The village dates back, at least, to Anglo-Saxon times and its name has its origins in Anglo Saxon English. Tewin has most of the features typical of English country villages, a Church, two pubs, a village green, a red telephone box and a shop and post office. It is set in a superb rural landscape which retains many features characteristic of ancient countryside and which supports a rich variety of wildlife. The village contains areas set aside for the Hertfordshire and Middlesex Wildlife Trust which are carefully managed by volunteers.
There is an active sports clubs, and social events are organised by various groups around the village.
The village Memorial Hall in the heart of the village provides accommodation for many of our activities, and funds raised by a new supporters club, as well as money from other sources, has enabled a programme of repair and redecoration to take place.
A record of people resident in the village during the year 2000 to be known as the Tewin Millennium Register has been copied by a local calligrapher and is due to be bound in leather and put on display.
