The Barrells of Herefordshire were in the 13th century represented in the adjoining county of Shropshire by the Barels or Barells (H. R.).
Barrell is still a Stowmarket name. The Barrells were business people in that town in the reign of Charles I. (H.). Barrell is an ancient name that is now mostly confined to Suffolk and Herefordshire. In the form of Barel it occurred at Blakeburn, Suffolk, in the 13th century, and as Barel or Bareli at the same time in Shropshire (H. R.). Six centuries ago, therefore, this name had much the same distribution as it has at present.
