Cranleigh
Cranleigh is a village and civil parishes in England, civil parish in the Borough of Waverley, Surrey, England. It lies southeast of Guildford on a minor road east of the A281, which links Guildford with Horsham. It is in the north-west corner of the Weald, a large remnant forest, the main local remnant being Winterfold Forest directly north-west on the northern Greensand Ridge. In 2011 it had a population of just over 11,000. Etymology Until the mid-1860s, the place was usually spelt Cranley. The Post Office persuaded the vestry to use "''-leigh''" to avoid misdirections to nearby Crawley in West Sussex. The older spelling is publicly visible in the ''Cranley Hotel''. The name is recorded in the ''Pipe Rolls'' as ''Cranlea'' in 1166 and ''Cranelega'' in 1167. A little later in the ''Feet of Fines'' of 1198 the name is written as ''Cranele''. Etymologists consider all these versions to be the fusion of the Old English words "Cran", meaning "Crane (bird), crane", and "Lēoh" that ...
