Etymology
This must originally have been the name of the small stream which flows into the Culm here. The valley is called Cradocumbe (1185), Cratecombe (12th) in the Buckland Cartulary. Ekwall (RN 101) considers that the name may have been elliptical for Nant Caradoc or the like (nant , 'valley, brook').
