Page 7 - Crondall
Crondall is bounded to the south by the Downs, rising to 478ft., along which
ran the prehistoric "Harrow Way", part of the route from the tin
mines of Cornwall to the Thames. Close by at Barley Pound a Roman mosaic
pavement was found, and is commemorated by a tapestry in the parish church. The
"Crondall Hoard" of one hundred and one coins, two jewelled
ornaments, and a chain, was found in 1828, within the parish boundaries. The
ninety seven surviving coins are now in the possession of the Ashmolean Museum
at Oxford. The parish church of All Saints dates from the end of twelfth
century, displaying the change from Norman to transitional architecture in its
restoration and alterations over the years.
