Early Origins of the Radmore familyThe surname Radmore was first found in Yorkshire in the East Riding where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1251 when William of Redmore held estates in that shire.

Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Radmore family name include Readmore, Redmore, Radmore, Redmoor, Readmoor, Radmoor, Redmor, Radmor, Readmor, Redmere, Radmere, Radmare, Redmare and many more.
