CROOKHORN FARM in Farlington
A primary French place name, Norman French 'Crevecuer'='break heart', also known in surnames, though there is no indication that this is 'manorial', ie: from a surname. The modern name is folk etymology. Possibly gave its name to 'Crookhorn Copse' (1840 'Crookhorns') in Exton.
