History


The name "Crow" may be derived from an old Common Brittonic word, either "criw" meaning "ford, weir", or perhaps "craw" meaning "hovel".[1] In the Domesday Book of 1086, Crow (Crone) was held by the sons of Godric Malf from the King.[2] In the 13th and 14th centuries the manor was held at various times by John de Burley, Sir Hugh Cheyne, Sir John Berkeley, and Humphrey Duke of Gloucester.[3] It was held by the Milbourne family in the 15th and 16th centuries until the death of Richard Milbourne in 1532.[3] It was sold to William Button in 1543, and the manor stayed in the Button family at least until 1599.[3] The manor subsequently passed to the Comptons of Minstead and Bisterne, and then with Bisterne to William Mills in 1792.[3] The two manors of Bisterne and Crow were effectively merged from that time.[3]
