The Meaning of the Name

The origin of the name Threlfall’s Farm is not securely established from its modern form alone; like many settlement names in the North it likely combines an Old English or Old Norse personal name with a landscape term.

Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Threlfall’s Farm.
