Twyford is a hamlet and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated on the A1067 road, some 12 km (7.5 mi) south-east of the town of Fakenham and 28 km (17 mi) north-west of the city of Norwich.[1]

The name Twyford derives from the Anglo Saxon and means 'double ford'. There are several other places called Twyford.

St Nicholas's Church dates from Saxon times with a tower and porch from 1732 and later remodelling. The church is run as part of the heart of Norfolk group of rural parishes, with clergy based in North Elmham.[3]
