Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

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.
