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.
