Twydall is a suburb of Gillingham in Kent in South East England. In 1998 responsibility for local government was transferred from Kent County Council to the newly created Unitary Authority of Medway. The origin of the name Twydall is thought to mean "Two Parts" or "Double Portion" from the Old English twidǣl, but by 1240 it was written Twydele. Two Palmerston forts were built in the area, Grange Redoubt and Woodlands Redoubt: the design used came to be known as the Twydall Profile.
