Thredling Hundred
Thredling was a hundred of Suffolk, and at just under 10,000 acres (40 km2) the smallest of Suffolk's 21 hundreds.[1]
The five parishes of Thredling fall into the Deanery of Claydon, the Archdeaconry of Suffolk, and the Diocese of Norwich. The hundred was bounded by Loes, Carlford, Hoxne, Hartismere and Bosmere and Claydon. The River Deben has its source here.
The origin of the hundred's name is not known, though one theory derives it from "Thrythhild", known to be a female first name of the Saxon era.[2]

gollark: It *is* a half day! Stupid 12-hour time and its edge cases.
gollark: I think it's in a bit less than a full day.
gollark: Also, how do lunar heralds work? I got one but want a different color.
gollark: Was it your trade?
gollark: I offered on the one asking for a magma. Someone must have offered a hatchling and not an egg, as I didn't get it.
