Documentary and place name evidence (Gover et al 1931), for Crebor (Crevebere 1166, Crievebere 1193, Crauber 1228, Creweber 1238 and Creber 1530) meaning ‘Crow Wood’. These references are indicative of the continuity of period range of these settlements and underlining the agricultural character of the landscape.
