When did it become North? Is there evidence for disambiguation from Crawley, Sussex?

[edit]

I've found a source for a 1398 reference to North Crawley - is there an earlier one anywhere where the North prefix is given? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article currently has an assertion that it became "North" to distinguish it from Crawley in Sussex. But there are lots of duplicate town names in England, some far closer together than this. So the statement definitely needs a citation because otherwise it is just wild speculation. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I would be tempted to remove it as wild speculation, particularly if a reference can be found that states it was known as North Crawley in the 14th century: it wouldn't have needed differentiating from the Sussex town then; it is unlikely that anyone would have got the two confused. -- Roleplayer (talk) 23:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
