Moving to Crawley?

Dominated by Gatwick Airport to such an extent that many people forget there is a town there at all, Crawley is in fact one of the oldest inhabited places in Britain. Its position on the edge of the High Weald in iron country has made it attractive to settlers since the Neolithic period; Gofs Park was the site of two Iron Age furnaces and the Romans built many more all around the area. In the fifth century the Saxons gave the future town its name: they called it “Crow’s Leah”, which means “a crow-infested clearing”. Perhaps because of the avian infestation, this particular area was not built up even though the villages of Worth and Ilfield were prosperous in around 950 AD: no record exists of Crawley proper until 1202, when King John issued a licence for a weekly market.

Over the next few centuries the town grew in importance but it was the construction of the turnpike road between London and Brighton in the eighteenth century that put it on the map. Midway between the two cities, Crawley became a popular coaching stop. The construction of the Brighton Main Line railway station at Three Bridge was another turning point: within twenty years, over a quarter of the working population was working for the railway company, and housing boomed accordingly. Taken with the opening of an airfield, this contributed to the town’s increasing prosperity. It remained small, however, until after the Second World War, when it was identified as being suitable to become a New Town. Architect Thomas Bennet was appointed to chair the development committee and he led plans to increase its size first to a population of 50,000. None new neighbourhoods – each consisting mainly of three-bedroom family homes, with a number of smaller and larger properties, and built around a centre with shops, a church, a public house, a primary school and a community centre – were created, radiating from the original town centre. Over subsequent decades plans were expanded gradually until the town is now at 101,000 and rising.

Luckily for visitors, there is more here to see than prime examples of quality town planning. In Goffs Parks, Crawley Museum has displays of Stone and Iron Age finds s well as more recent artefacts including parts of Vine Cottage, an old timber-framed building on the High Street which was once home to former Punch editor Mark Lemon. St Nicholas’s Church is the ancient parish church in Worth, dating to Saxon times and looking a little like a gingerbread cottage. St John the Baptist’s was built in the thirteenth century and has fifteenth century carvings and a rood screen as well as a nineteenth century bell tower and organ chamber. There are several lovely timber framed Tudor houses including Old Punch Bowl and the Ancient Priory, as well as St George’s Hotel, the original inn that provided staging to Regency travellers. Modern architecture buffs will want to see the Beehive, Gatwick Airport’s original passenger terminal, whose innovative design is today hailed as a classic. Ladies might prefer to skip all this and head straight for the charity shops, which have excellent vintage designer clothes at very low prices.
