Early Origins and Etymology of MedelThe surname Medel was first found in Maidwell, a parish, in the union of Brixworth, hundred of Rothwell, N. division of the county of Northampton. 1 The parish dates back to at least the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was listed as Medewelle. 2 Literally the place name means "spring or stream of the maidens, (where they were gathered)" from the Old English words "maegden" + "wella." 3 Early rolls list the early entries of land holdings held by the family at that time. In Oxfordshire, the Feet of Fines included an entry for Henry de Maydewelle as holding lands there in 1262. A few years later in Northumberland, Simon de Maydewell was recorded in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1275 and the same rolls included an entry for William de Maydewelle in Oxfordshire in 1279. 4 Maidwell Hall is a Grade II listed building in Maidwell, West Northamptonshire, England. Maidwell Hall dates to 1637 and was extensively remodeled in the 18th century and again in 1885 by J.A. Gotch. Maidwell Hall School was founded as a boys' preparatory school in 1911 and was moved to Maidwell Hall in 1933.
