In Response To: Re: Cronkbourne House ()

cronk bane = hill white (in manx) - (Kneen has also Knockbane in 1643 - name also found in German + possibly elsewhere) and doesn't link it with the modern Cronkbourne (a munufactured manx-english hybrid) - in 1894 directory quite distinct places with the Gawnes farming cronkbane
