Crowhurst, Surrey history
The place-name ‘Crowhurst’, first recorded in 1189 in various forms similar to those of the next century Croherst and Crauhurste, simply means ‘crow wood’ The dedication of the church to St. George indicates a consecration not earlier than the third Crusade.
Manor
In 1338 Robert de Stangrave and Joan his wife conveyed the manor to John Gainsford and Margaret his wife. In 1706 it fell to split heirs who entered into disputes, including the full recovery of the large property from a director of the South Sea Company, Edward Gibbon. The Duchess of Marlborough used the ‘endowed’ income to found the almshouses in St Albans.
Other manors
Three other manors existed: Atgrove, Chellows and Rugge. Each was originally owned by the Gainsford family. A brief-lived fourth manor may have existed, Infields.
