Cradley / Cradeleie

There is an entry for this Cradley [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SO9485/cradley/] [accessedx 6 November 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Miller (1890) writes of a church here "which was at first intended for a chapel of Lady Huntingdon's connection", later enlarged; Miller (ibid.) gives no dedication [though some sources indicate it was dedicated to Erasmus by its founder], nor does he mention a font in it. The present church in this Cradley [cf. Index entry for another Cradley in the West Midlands, in Worcestershire], St. Peter's, appears to have been built in the 18th century by a group of Dissenters, but was soon taken into the Church of England. [NB: we have no information on a possible font in the old disappeared Erasmus chapel; if the chapel was indeed founded by Lady Huntingdon, it is likely that it would have been built sometime between 1748 and 1791].
