Anne Terzza explains our Village History. Doomsday Survey Gary Jowett

In the year 1086 the Great Doomsday Survey was made by the Kings Agents who High Class Family Butcher went round the countryside and recorded in the Doomsday Book details of all the land Nottingham Road, Cropwell Bishop and those who owned it. The records of the Doomsday Survey states that there were Tel: 0115 989 2244 24 men at “Crophille” working on the Archbishop's land. Assuming that each had a wife and an average of 2 children the population in 1086 would be 96 but this is purely guess work but does help to give a rough idea. It is the Doomsday Book which provides TOP QUALITY MEAT the first picture, albeit rather dim, as to the first written evidence of the existence of a village at that time called “Crophille”. FROM NOTTINGHAMSHIRE FARMS Back in the early years of the 5th century after the Romans withdrew from Britain we need to imagine a group of Anglo-Saxons foraging about off the old Roman road- the OPENING HOURS Fosse way- finding a spring of water and settling here. It was not until the early part of Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: the 20th century that the source of the spring which ran into a pond at Stockwell was cut off by Gypsum mining, this spring is mentioned in some of the earliest of the village 8:30am-5:00pm records. After the pond had dried up and was filled in the area is landscaped into what Wednesday & Saturday: is now called the Pinfold. A water supply was so essential to man and his animals and was perhaps the most important factor in deciding the site of a settlement. The early 8:30am-1:00pm people probably enclosed within a stockade what was the “Town-Ring” at Cropwell extending from Stockwell via Back Lane to the church and thence by the Main Street back again to Stockwell. We know from the Doomsday Survey that even in 1086 there were about three quarters of a square mile of woodland within the area of Crophille. As population increased this woodland would be cleared and cultivated to grow crops for feeding the extra mouths. Working animals also any sheep or cattle the small group might possess would be brought inside the stockade at night for protection. Animals were vital in village life such as oxen which would pull ploughs and carts and provided meat, milk, tallow and hide. Our early ancestors shared their primitive dwelling not with cats and dogs as nowadays but with farm animals their most valuable possessions.

The Doomsday survey does not make mention of a Church here at Cropwell but even if one did not exist at that time it would not be a source of income for the King and could therefore be ignored, so although there is no definite evidence there may still have been a Church perhaps built of wattle and daub with a thatched roof, we do not know.

The fact that Cropwell belonged to the Archbishop of York lends credence to this probability for one would expect he would wish a place of worship here. Maybe a Church stood near where the present one stands today, with a graveyard for the little community whose crude dwellings clustered round it.

Parish Churches and their burial grounds were often the sites of earlier religious meeting places.
