The village is small, but rather straggling, and contains some 17th-century stone cottages. The church is at the east entrance, and to the east of this again, across the road, is the Rectory House, built in 1855. About 200 yards north of the church is Turweston Manor House, an early 17th-century stone house of two stories, built probably by the Haynes family, who were lessees under the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. Before the west front of the house stretches a park of about 35 acres, the great part of which is in Brackley, the River Ouse, which flows at the foot of the lawn, forming the dividing line. In the grounds is a stone house with mullioned windows, which bears the date 1638. It is now divided into two cottages, and has been considerably restored. The school stands south of the church, and further beyond is the Wesleyan chapel, built in 1861.
There are a few outlying farms (B3).
'Turweston' is marked on OS maps from about 1814 onwards (B4).
