A "Hundred" being an area of land capable of raising a hundred fighting men. Crondall was given to the Church at the Cathedral City of Winchester during the Anglo-Saxon period, in order to support the Bishop of Winchester. 

Although this period in time was a reasonably dangerous one, there is evidence of the movement of people from one place to another locally, by the tracks across the heathland that crossed what is now Church Crookham. 

There are no Roman Roads nearby, but smaller tracks are evident, which are probably still used today, in one form or another. In 1828, whilst walking along such a track near Tweseldown Racecourse, at Bourley Bottom, a local gentleman, Mr. C.E. Lefroy, discovered a hoard of various Anglo-Saxon gold coins on the ground, having been unearthed by heavy rain the previous night, on an area having been recently cut of turfs. 

The find, dating from circa. 630 - 650A.D, and later to become known as "The Crondall Hoard", consisted of 101gold Anglo-Saxon coins, most of which were minted in England. One was later found to be a forgery from that time.
