After a couple of hours looking at Harwoods in parish records for Sutton, Sussex it seems that these names are interchangeable due either to local pronunciation or the quirks of whoever was filling out the register.
eg baptism for Frances 21 Jul 1821 dau of Henry & Elizabeth has HARROLD crossed out and HARWOOD written afterwards. The burial of my ancestor Thomas Harwood 27 Jul 1816 is entered as Harrold.
Hope this helps any other Sussex Harwood researchers.
