The name of the parish of Cranston or Cranstoun, in the charters of the twelfth century, was written ''Cranestone,'' the Anglo-Saxon, ''Craenston,'' signifying the crane's district, or resort. There are cranes in in the river Tyne, which intersects Cranston. In the 12th century the manor was divided into New Cranston and Cranston Ridel. The Church was at New Cranston which was the larger of the two manors. The parish registers begin in 1682 and are now regularly kept but not voluminous. In 1792 the population was 839, and in 1831 it was 1030. The land is used primarily for potatoes, turnips, hay, wheat, oats, barley, pease, and beans. The villiages in the parish are Cousland, Chesterhill, and Preston. The nearest market town is Dalkeith. There are about 62 families in the parish that belong to the Established Church, and about 36 that are Disenting or Seceding. | |||
This account was written in 1839. | |||
