Etymology
The forms are too late for any satisfactory solution to be offered. There is no stream here, even if one could have a compound of worþig and a stream-name. It is just possible that the first element is OE trendel , 'circle,' hence 'circular enclosure.' The last form is evidently an attempt to represent the local pronunciation [trentəri], cf. Great Tree infra 433.
