Crayke Manor - Geograph
Crayke is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, about east of Easingwold. Etymology The name ''Crayke'' is of Brittonic origin, derived from the neo-Brittonic Cumbric ''crẹ:g'', meaning "a crag" or "prominent rock" (Welsh ''craig''). This derivation may refer to the topography associated with the Northumbrian monastery at Crayke. History There is evidence that there has been a settlement here since the times of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The village is named in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Crec'', part of the ''Yarlestre'' hundred and noted as belonging to the Bishop of Durham. The parish was formerly a detached part of County Durham (until 1844), due to its connection with St Cuthbert and the Diocese of Durham, which owned Crayke Castle. The seventh-century king Egfrid granted Crayke to the church in 685 to be used by Cuthbert on his visits to York, to which end Cuthbert founded a monastery here. Cuthbert died in 687AD.
