Crickmore

Crickmore
This interesting and unusual English surname with spellings Crichmer, Crickmore, Crickmoor, and Crickmer is English. It is locational from and is from one of the estimated three thousand "medieval" villages and hamlets that have now disappeared from the maps of the British Isles. The prime cause of these disappearances was the enforced "clearing" and dispersal of the former inhabitants, to make way for sheep pastures at the height of the wool trade in the 14th Century. Natural causes such as the Black Death of 1348, also contributed to the lost village phenomenon. The original place may have been located in Suffolk as the church records of the County show the name to be prominent in that area. The placename itself contains the Old British elements "cruc", a hill (pre-Roman), plus the second element "Mor", a moor or "mere", a lake. Hence the place may have been a hill by a moor or lake. At Syleham in Suffolk, Johanna Crickmer married Robert Kyss on June 12th 1542, while here also, Johanna, daughter Alicia was christened on May 28th, 1553. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Cecilia Crakemore, which was dated 1379, in the "Poll Tax records of Yorkshire", during the reign of King Richard 11, known as "Richard of Bordeaux", 1377 - 1399. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
