It is difficult to identify the house where Anne Crewdson lived at the time of her death, but the Mill mentioned, which was probably worked by Richard, is identifiable (through the Manorial rent of 2/4d. still payable) as Gilpin Mill a mile or so down the lovely and unspoiled valley which runs from the Wild Boar in Crook (where one of the many last wild Boars in England is said to have been killed) southwards to Crosthwaite. The Will reads as if Anne had lately removed to a smaller house at the Low End of Crook (a mile further south) possibly, having sold the house by the Mill whilst still retaining the Mill. 2-John Crewdson1,2 was born in 1676, died on 25 Apr 1718 in Kendal, Cumbria at age 42, and was buried in FBG Stramongate, Kendal.
