==Toponymy==
Various earlier spellings have the [[English orthography#History|intuitive, post-Norman spelling]] of "u" instead of "o" and the village is still pronounced as it has been for centuries by rooted residents or by those who correctly abstract the sound from 'front': in the 10th century 'Crundelas' was recorded; throughout the 14th century it was 'Crundale'.<ref name=p>{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=56735 |title=Parishes: Crondall |editor=William Page |publisher=Institute of Historical Research |year=1911 |work=A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 4 |access-date=28 October 2013 }}</ref>
An [[Old English]] {{lang|ang|crundel}} was a [[chalk pit|chalk-pit]] or [[lime (material)|lime]] quarry, and the word has survived in the name of Crondall. The remains of one quarry can still be seen as a large depression on the golf course.

The Hundred of Crondall was divided into '[[Manorialism|Manors]]', Itchell, Ewshot, Crokeham/Crookham Well, Feldmead, Dippenhall, Farnborough and Aldershot. These Manors are all mentioned in the records of [[Winchester Cathedral]]. All the land within the Hundred was administered by a steward landowner at Crondall on behalf of "the monks of St Swithen" and later on behalf of

John Gifford died seised of the manor in 1563, leaving a son George, then aged 10 years. A third part of the manor passed to his widow who married William Hodges of [[Weston-sub-Edge railway station|Weston Sub Edge]].

A panoramic view of this part of [[Hampshire]] may be gained from Queens View looking from East to West across Crondall. It takes its name from the fact that [[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]] admired this view whilst inspecting troops garrisoned at nearby [[Aldershot]] "Home of the British Army".{{Citation needed|date=December 2015}} [[Oliver Cromwell]] is reputed to have stayed in the Plume of Feathers in October 1645, when the [[siege of Basing House]] was in progress.<ref>[http://www.plume-of-feathers-crondall.co.uk/history.html Plume of Feathers, Crondall] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090911011420/http://www.plume-of-feathers-crondall.co.uk/history.html |date=11 September 2009 }}</ref>
