Drinkhouse Road is found off Shevington Causeway/Back Drinkhouse Lane, which in turn links to the A581 at Meadow Lane/Westhead Road. Meadow Lane extends westwards to connect to the A59 some 2 miles away at Liverpool Road. Westhead Road continues eastwards to connect with the B5277 at Town Road, which is at the centre of Croston Village. Croston is within the Borough Council of West Lancashire some 8 miles south- west of Preston, 9 miles east of Southport and 20 miles north-east of Liverpool. Connections to the motorway network (M6) are available at Leyland circa 5 miles north- east. Croston has a rail station that is within 1 mile north of Drinkhouse Farm and has connections to Preston and Ormskirk. Croston is a quaint village and civil parish in rural West Lancashire, nestled between Chorley and Southport and sits next to the River Yarrow. The traditional centre of the village is marked by St. Michael's and All Angels' Church, with the village now being host to a number of local retailers and good pubs (The Grapes & The Wheatsheaf both having 4.5 star ratings on TripAdvisor). At the end of Church Street there is a stone cross (left) which was erected in 1953, where it is believed in the 7th Century St Aidan arrived and in the absence of a church a cross was erected as a place of worship. In fact Croston literally means “Cross – Town” and is derived from the two Old English words ‘cross’ and ‘tun’ (there are no other Crostons in the UK). The picturesque nature of the village is most evident in the 15th-century cobbled pack horse bridge which crosses the River Yarrow. Croston is home to the Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy. According to a 2007 OFSTED report, the school's' performance was rated as outstanding. The school has increasingly high GCSE grades, where in 2007 the school attained 84% A*-C grades, compared to 58% in 2001, making it within the top 10% of UK schools. The school's performance continued upwards and by 2010, it attained 90.1% A*-C grades (85% A*-C inc. English & Maths). Croston Old School (right) is a Grade II listed building which originates from 1660, but was substantially rebuilt in 1827. Until 1999 the buildings were used as a school however Croston Old School Community Trust's grant from the National Lottery for £481,062 has funded the majority of a scheme to create a community resource centre for Croston. .

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.

    OLD CROOK HALL, WHITTLE-LE-WOODS. Now a farmhouse. 1 55 NOTES ON THE EARLY CROOKS OF CROOK, WHITTLE-LE-WOODS. By Frederic Crooks. Read 4th March, 1926. A CCORDING to Sephton's Handbook of Lancashire £*- Place-Names and other authorities,1 the name Crook is derived from the personal name Croc [Old Norse, Krokr meaning a crook or bend]. This name Croc occurs in Domesday Book, and examples will be found in Searle's Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicitm. An account of some of the members of the Croc family is given in The Herald and Genealogist, Vol. v, and there are further references to them in the Victoria History of Hampshire, etc. Among the early bearers of the name was Robert Croc " of Scotland," c. 1200, who sealed with armes -parlantcs of three crooks2 ; another was Piers Crok [H. in Roll] who bore, Azure three crooks Or 3 ; Harl. MS. 6137, f°- 866. states " three birds' heads."4 The personal name Croc occurs at an early period in a number of Lancashire place-names, such as Crocstad now Croxteth,5 Crochurst now Crookhurst,6 Croxton now Croston. Other examples will be found in the Cockersand Chartulary [Chetham Soc. n.s. Vol. 38, etc.]. Croston in the thirteenth century was Croxton,7 which means " The tun of Croc,"8 viz. Croc's enclosure, and there is evidence 1 Letters to the writer from Professor H. C.
