Name

This OPS of Christchurch was inspired by obtaining a book, created for the new millenium,[1] on Christchurch-Twynham. Originally the harbour and settlement place at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour was probably called "Tweoncam", meaning the place between the two rivers. Nearby, there was estabished a church (with nine chapels) from about the 7th century, to be a missionary centre for the area. It developed into the Priory of Christchurch, round which the town of Christchurch gradually grew and developed.
