The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, Cærsehlaw, meaning 'cress hill'. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Cresselai.[2]
In the Victorian era and much admired then,[2] there was just one house left in the village, the manor house, which dated from the 14th century.[2] It was then the property of Lord Clifford but has also now disappeared.
