Tree: UK Thrale family
Notes:
Robert Thrale held Tuffnalls at Thrale’s End in 1493. From Robert the Elder descended the Thrale family that became the most prominent family in Sandridge over the next 300 years.
John Cussans’ History of Hertfordshire (1870-1881) says…
Few yeoman families could boast a more respectable ancestry.

Sometime between 1556 and 1558, the Thrale family helped Princess Elizabeth to escape by concealing her for several days in Sandridge. As a reward Queen Elizabeth I rewarded the Thrale family on her succession to the Throne with arms and the Broad Arrow.Farming
Over the centuries the Thrale family farmed virtually every part of the old Sandridge parish, including:- Nomansland;
- Cell Barnes;
- Napsbury; and
- Mackerye End.
Other well-established Sandridge farming families associated with the Thrales included:
- Burchmore;
- Cox (Hill End);
- Reynolds (Heath Farm, Cheapside, Hammonds)
- Smith (Waterend House, Harefield Farm, Evans Farm);
… families who intermarried over the years so that there were many relations in common.
