History of Crawley
In the 5th century, Saxon settlers named the area Crow’s Leah meaning a crow-infested clearing, or Crow’s Wood. This name evolved over time, and the present spelling appeared by the early 14th century. By this time, nearby settlements were more established: the Saxon church at Worth, for example, dates from between 950 and 1050 AD.
