Croxton Kerrial

Croxton Kerrial is a village and civil parish in the Melton borough of Leicestershire, England, 6.6 miles south-west of Grantham, 7.9 miles north-east of Melton Mowbray, and 0.5 miles west of the Leicestershire boundary with Lincolnshire. The civil parish, which includes the village of Branston had a population of 530 at the 2011 census.
In medieval times, Croxton Abbey, a Premonstratensian house, lay within the locality. The manor of Croxton was granted by King Henry III in May 1242 to Bertram de Criol or Crioill, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports , from whom the name "Kerrial" is derived. Nicholas de Crioll, a successor to Bertram as Warden of the Cinque Ports, married the heiress of William de Auberville the younger, whose grandfather in 1192 founded the Premonstratensian abbey of Langdon, near West Langdon, Kent as from Leiston Abbey in Suffolk, which had been founded by his father-in-law Ranulf de Glanville in 1183. On 28 December 1246 the king granted a Monday weekly market to Nicholas de Crioll, and his heirs, at his manor of Croxton, and a yearly fair on the vigil, feast and morrow of St Barnabas .
