Encyclopedia
Crondall is a village and large civil parish
in the north east of Hampshire
, England
and is all that remains of the old Hundred
of Crondall referred to in the Domesday Book
of 1086. Various earlier spellings have in common the use of a "u" instead of the "o" and the village is still properly pronounced "Crundel" although some recent incomers prefer to pronounce the "o". The map of Hampshire in the 1722 edition of William Camden

Crondall's southern boundary is the North Downs
along which ran the prehistoric Harrow Way
, thought to be the oldest road in Britain which ran from the Cornish tin mines to Dover
in Kent
. There is some evidence for Neolithic settlements since there is an Iron Age
earthworks at Caesar's Camp. Remains of Roman
and Norman
settlements have been found close beside the Harrow Way near Barley Pound. Evidence for Roman occupation can be found in the fields as broken tiles and artefacts. In 1817 an intact Roman mosaic pavement
was found by a ploughman, and is commemorated by a tapestry in the parish church. Coins from the third century were found in 1869.
The "Crondall Hoard" of one hundred and one old French coins, two jewelled ornaments, and a chain were found in 1828. Many of these date to the fifth century and ninety seven of the coins are now in the possession of the Ashmolean Museum
at Oxford.
King Alfred the Great bequeathed the Hundred of Crondall to his nephew Eltham in 885. In 975 it was handed over by King Edgar
to the monks at Winchester; and remained in their hands until 1539. At this time Henry VIII
dissolved the monasteries and within two years Crondall was controlled by the new Dean
and Chapter of Winchester Cathedral
. Crondall remained in their hands until 1861, when it was taken over by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners

To the east is Powderham Castle which was a siege-castle to Barley Pound. It too was founded by the Bishop of Winchester and built during The Anarchy
in the reign of King Stephen. It was originally an earth and timber ringwork fortress, encased by a ditch and with a counterscarp bank. Due to the demolition of its encasing rampart, the ringwork now resembles a low flat-topped motte. It now also has a dense cover of trees. Excavations on the mound have uncovered post-holes and large flints which may indicate former buildings.
church on the same site and the Saxon font
remains from that period. The east end of the Nave dates to 1170. The original bell tower was poorly designed for the weight of the bells it housed and by 1657 the whole tower had to be dismantled to prevent its total collapse. In 1659 a new brick tower, modelled on St Matthews in Battersea
, was erected at the NE corner of the original structure.
Among notable interior features are an ancient brass of 1370, the dogtooth mouldings of the chancel
arch and the imposing arcades and foliate capitals of the Nave. To date All Saints has undergone two major restoration
s, the first in 1847 by the architect Benjamin Ferrey
and the second in 1871 under the guidance of Sir George Gilbert Scott
. In 1995 the "National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies" (NADFAS) declared All Saints to be one of the finest examples of architecture of its style in the country. The church is said to be haunted.
