Early Origins of the Treadwell family

The surname Treadwell was first found in Suffolk where Thomas Treddewel held estates c. 1248. 1

The name literally means "dweller at a path, or road, by a spring or stream." 2 "The Tredwells or Treadwells are also represented in Kent. The name of Treadwell occurred in Enstone parish 200 years ago. T. Treadwell was mayor of Oxford in 1758." 3

Up in Scotland, Saint Triduana, also known as Trodline, Tredwell, and in Norse as Trøllhaena, was an early Christian woman who was associated with various places in Scotland. It is thought she probably lived sometime between the 4th and 8th centuries. St Tredwell's Chapel, Papa Westray is a renowned Orkney pilgrimage-centre, standing on a conical mound on a small peninsula. Here, late medieval walls can be seen, built over Iron Age ruins.
