Collingham.—Has not met with the word ‘Cristinge’ before, but there is a tract of lands called the Criftings near Hoveringham.

—————

Collingham
Feb. 16 1881

My dear Sir

Hoveringham

I have considered your question {1} as to “Cristinge” {2} with great interest. I have never met with that word before, but I conjecture that it is a miswriting (or reading) for “Crifting”. There is a tract of Inclosed Lands called the “Criftings”, adjoining the Dover Beck about 5 miles North of Hoveringham. I know no other instance however of that name, and do not know the derivation of the first syllable unless it is from the same root as “Croft”. “Crofting” I think would be the exact equivalent of “Little Close”.

I remain | my dear Sir
Yours most truly
T Smith Woolley

{1} The question was probably communicated privately. It does not appear to have been raised in Notes and Queries.

{2} Closing inverted commas supplied.
