Croxdale history

---

Croxdale was first mentioned in records as Crokesteil in 1195. The name may come from a Viking named Krokr and the shape of the river bends that meander like a tail. Ownership of the village dates back to 1291 when it was owned by a Roger Routhberi. By the 1350s ownership had passed to Robert de Whalton a treasurer of Brittany. The Salvin family were noted Roman Catholics and had to keep a low profile for centuries due to Catholic persecutions.
