Cranleigh

Cranleigh is a big town and civil parish, self-proclaimed the largest in England, about 8 miles (13 km) southeast of Guildford in Surrey. It exists eastern of the A281, which connects Guildford with Horsham, on an alternative route that is not an A-road. It is in the north-west corner of the Weald, a huge remnant forest, the main regional remnant being Winterfold Woodland directly north-west on the northern Greensand Ridge. Till the mid-1860s, the area was usually meant Cranley. The Post Office convinced the vestry to use -leigh to prevent misdirections to close-by Crawley in West Sussex. The older punctuation is publicly visible in the Cranley Hotel. The origin of the name is recorded in the Pipe Rolls as Cranlea in 1166 and also Cranelega in 1167. A little later in the Feet of Fines of 1198 the name is created as Cranele. Etymologists take into consideration all these variations to be the combination of the Old English words "Cran", implying "crane", and "Leoh" that with each other indicate 'a timberland clearing up checked out by cranes'. The name is popularly thought to find from imputed big crane-breeding grounds at the Anglo-French called Vachery Fish pond, often in your area called Vachery. The number of a crane decorates the old drinking water fountain of 1874 in 'Fountain Square' in the middle of the town. A pair of cranes embellish the crest of the 21st century provided coat of arms of Cranleigh Parish Council.
