Etymology
Tresham, Tresham 972 (10th) BCS 1282, 1248Ass , 1293FF , Ed 3Surv , 1327 SRet passim to 1598Dep , Tressam 1549, 1600FF , 1701 PR 10. The first el. is obscure, but we could assume an OE *træs or *tres connected with Norw tras 'twig, sprout', Icel tros 'fallen leaves and twigs', to which ME trasche 'broken twigs, cuttings' (as in Trashurst Sr 273) and OE trus or trūs 'brushwood, hedge- croppings' may be related (cf. NED s.v. trash , trouse ). The name would denote something like 'homestead amongst the brushwood', v. hām . It may be added that the absence of a stream rules out any connexion with the root of the r.n. Trysull (Welsh tres 'toil, labour', RN 412).
