Paddington history


Paddington History photo

Padington (or “Padintun”, as in the Saxon Chartularies, 959) is historically a part of Middlesex. It has been reasonably speculated that a Saxon settlement was located around the intersection of the northern and western Roman roads, corresponding with the Edgware Road (Watling Street) and Uxbridge Road.

Tyburnia

In the 19th century the part of the parish most sandwiched between Edgware Road and Westbourne Terrace, Gloucester Terrace and Craven Hill, bounded to the south by Bayswater Road, was known as Tyburnia . The district formed the centrepiece of an 1824 masterplan by Samuel Pepys Cockerell .

Etymology

Derivation of the name is uncertain . Speculative explanations include Padre-ing-tun (explained as “father’s meadow village”), Pad-ing – “pack-horse-meadow village” and Pæding-tun .

Colloquial expressions

An 18th-century dictionary gives Tyburn being in the parish or neighbourhood of Paddington . Public executions were abolished in England in 1868 .
