CRAY. There are several villages of this name in Kent, situated on the
small river Cray, from which they take their names. This stream
rises a little to the south west of St. Mary Cray, runs by that
town, and passing by Paul’s Cray, Foot’s Cray, and North Cray, runs
into the Darent, near its conflux with the Thames at Dartford creek,
opposite to Purfleet. The principal of these places is St. Mary
Cray, about which are many woods of birch, from which the
broom-makers in Kent street, Southwark, are supplied.
CRAYFORD, a town near Dartford in Kent, is 14 miles from London, and
obtained its name from its having anciently a ford over the river
Cray, or Crouch, a little above its influx into the Thames. In the
adjacent heath and fields are several caves, supposed to have been
formed by the Saxons as places of security and shelter for their
wives, children, and effects, during their wars with the Britons.
