Background
History
The name "Scrainwood" is uncertain and may mean 'shrew-mouse wood' or 'villain wood' or it could mean 'hollow-place wood'. Until 1509 Scrainwood manor was in William Vescy's barony. Scrainwood is a deserted medieval village that appeared to have declined in the 15 or 16th century. There are earthwork remains of at least 3 probable house platforms. Names recorded include Screnwood, Scenwood, Screenwood, Skrynwood, Scranwood, Screynwood, Scrynwood and Skranwoo. Scrainwood was a township in Alnham parish. From 1866 Scrainwood was a civil parish in its own right until it was merged with Alnham on 1 April 1955.
