CROCKSDON-ABBEY, (Staffordshire) 5 m. N. W. of Uttoxeter, near a brook called the Peak, was built by Verden, a Norman
Baron, in whose family the manor continued for many successions, and several of his descendants were buried in it. At the
Diss. the site of this mon. was given to the Fuljambs, one of whom afterwards sold it.
