More about Crondall Hampshire
Crondall is a large parish in the North East of
Hampshire and is all that remains of the old Hundred of
Crondall referred to in the Domesday Book of 1086. The
map of Hampshire in the 1722 edition of William Camden's
Britannia or Geographical Description of Britain and
Ireland shows symbols for habitation in Farnborough,
Cove, Ewshot, Aldershot, and Crookham in the Crundhal (Crondall)
hundred. Samuel Lewis' A Topographical Dictionary of
England of 1831 also describes both Ewshot and Crookham
as in the parish and hundred of Crondall.
Crondall's southern boundary is the North Downs along
which ran the prehistoric Harrow Way, thought to be the
oldest road in Britain which ran from the Cornish tin
mines to Dover in Kent. There is some evidence for
Neolithic settlements since there are is an iron age
earthworks at Caesar's Camp. Remains of Roman and Norman
settlements have been found close beside the Harrow Way
near Barley Pound. Evidence for Roman occupation can be
found in the fields as broken tiles and artifacts. In
1817 an intact Roman mosaic pavement was found by a
ploughman, and is commemorated by a tapestry in the
parish church. Coins of the from the third century were
found in 1869.
More coins, the "Crondall Hoard" of one hundred and one
coins, two jewelled ornaments, and a chain were found in
1828. Many of these date to the fifth century and ninety
seven of these coins are now in the possession of the
Ashmolean Museum at Oxford.
Crondall has for centuries been rich farming land. A
great variety of soils appear in the area because it
lies on the edge of the London Basin including chalk,
clay and heavy fertile loam. There are many natural
springs in the area that were used as watercress beds
and for growing osier trees for basket weaving. Some of
the baskets were used as balloon baskets and airship
gondolas used by S.F. Cody in his early aviation
experiments at Farnborough. The area was also renowned
for Hops that were grown here for two hundred years
until the last war. For many years Crondall had a
brickworks that supplied tiles and brick to the local
towns.
The 12th Century Norman parish church, All Saints,
Crondall has been called 'The Cathedral of North
Hampshire'. It replaced a Saxon church on the same site
and the Saxon font remains from that period. The east
end of the nave dates to 1170. Among notable interior
features are the dogtooth mouldings of the chancel arch
and the imposing arcades and foliate capitals of the
Nave. To date All Saints has undergone two major
restorations, the first in 1847 by the architect
Benjamin Ferrey and the second in 1871 under the
guidance of Sir George Gilbert Scott. In 1995 the
"National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts
Societies" (NADFAS) declared All Saints to be one of the
finest examples of architecture of its style in the
country.
Throughout Crondall there are many well-preserved old
houses and cottages. The Plume of Feathers pub is a fine
example of Tudor architecture and was a resting stop on
the turnpike to Portsmouth.
A fine panoramic view of this beautiful part of
Hampshire may be gained from Queens View looking from
East to West across Crondall. It takes its name from the
fact that Queen Victoria admired this view whilst
inspecting the garrisoned troops at nearby Aldershot
"Home of the British Army". Oliver Cromwell is reputed
to have stayed in the Plume of Feathers in October 1645,
when the siege of Basing House was in progress.
