West Twyford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

West Twyford (also known as Twyford Abbey)[1] was a small extra-parochial area, and later civil parish, in the county of Middlesex, England.[2]

The area became a civil parish under the Extra-Parochial Places Act 1857 and formed part of Greenford Urban District from 1894. In 1901 it occupied an area of 281 acres and had a population of 97.[2] When the urban district was abolished in 1926 the parish was transferred to the Municipal Borough of Ealing. Then in 1934 it was transferred to the Municipal Borough of Willesden.[2] The area now forms part of Greater London and is preserved in the name of West Twyford Primary School.[3]
