Crondall history

---

Pre-Norman

King Alfred the Great bequeathed the Hundred of Crondall to his nephew Æthelhelm in 885. In 975 it was handed over by King Edgar to the monks at Winchester and remained in their hands until 1539. In 1817 an intact Roman mosaic pavement was found by a ploughman 200 yards north of Barley Pound Farm.

Evolution of the estate

By the early 19th century the cathedral as manorial owner owned the pick of the surrounding five tithings. This contrasted with lesser agricultural fertility land, much of which was common land and no longer connected with the manor.

Itchell Manor

Itchell Manor’s gardens were laid out by Capability Brown. A greenhouse, built 1840, is still in use and a Tudor Gateway remains. Henry Wriothesley, 2nd Earl of Southampton, purchased the estate in 1579. After 1628 the estate passed through several hands.

Civil War

All Saints’ Church in Crondall was a minor parliamentary outpost for much of the English Civil War, guarding the western approaches to Farnham.

Crondall toponymy

Old English crundel was a chalk-pit or lime quarry, and the word has survived in the name of Crondall. The remains of one quarry can still be seen as a large depression on the golf course.
