About  Crewe   

Croydon is an ancient town; despite 150 years of continuing urban growth many reminders of this still remain. Its ancient beginnings date back over 7,000 years. The Romans settled around the area, but it was the Saxons who first inhabited the area in great numbers and gave Croydon its name. The Lord of The Manor of Croydon was granted markets and fairs at intervals from 1276, and the market still held today in Surrey Street dates from 1343. Croydon has had many notable Royal and ecclesiastical connections. In 1086, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop Lanfranc, was Lord of The Manor, and his summer palace, now known as the Old Palace, still stands today. Archbishop John Whitgift was one of Croydon's greatest benefactors and founded schools and a hospital in the 16th century. 11 Archbishops of Canterbury in all are buried throughout the borough. Croydon's industrial and commercial importance grew at the beginning of the 19th Century as a result of transport developments, in particular the London to Brighton railway. The fashionable saline spring at Beulah Hill attracted visitors from all over the country, as did the glittering glass structure of the original Crystal Palace.
