This ancient family were seated at Bradfield, in Uffculm, co. Devon, temp. Henry II. Noble and Gentle Men. The original deed of transfer of Bradfelde from Fulke Paynel, Lord of Bampton, to one Walerande, an ancestor, temp. King John, is still in the possession of the family. It would appear from B.L.G. that the family were resident there before the date of that grant, under the name De Bradfelle, viz., in 1154; and that of Waleran or Walrond was assumed early in the reign of King John. Waleran is an ancient personal name, which was introduced here at the Conquest.
A baronial name. Geoffry, Hamo Waleran, Normandy 1180-95 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae). Walter Waleran held a barony of 25 fees in England 1165, and 1216 Robert Waleran was Baron of Kilpec.
Walrond is an ancient and notable name in the south and west of England. In the 13th century it was common, in the forms of Walrand, Walraund, Walerond, etc., in Wilts, and was also represented in Somerset, Oxfordshire, Dorset, Devon, and other counties (H. R.). Henry Walrond was high sheriff of Somerset in 1594 (C.). William Walrond, Esq., was buried in Wells Cathedral in 1662 (P.). James Walrand, one of the martyrs of the Monmouth rebellion in 1685, was executed at Ilchester (W.).
