Cratfield Village Sign

Cratfield is spread over several greens. Most of the buildings are around Bell Green, the ‘main road’ through Cratfield. Then there is North Green (also known as Northward or Norwood Green), Silverleys Green, Swan Green, and apparently there was a fifth green. In 1783 it was called Barrile Green and now it is the Spong, a small green on Spong Lane.
