Description
Poundon is first recorded in legal documents in 1255 and again in 1291 and 1316 (B1).
Formerly in Twyford parish, the hamlet of Poundon is named in the early 14th century as forming part of the vill of Twyford. Poundon is a small hamlet about a mile and a quarter south-west of Twyford. Here is a Church of England mission room. The residence of Mr. John Pemberton Heywood Heywood-Lonsdale, the principal landowner, is a modern stone house (B2).
'Poundon' is marked on OS maps from about 1813 onwards (B3).
