History
In 1895, the only buildings in Crook Log, besides a roadside inn, were several large residential villas. The villas were estimated at the time to be no more than 50 years old.[1] The public house, referred to as 'The Crook Log' was much older, dating from at least 1808, and possibly earlier still, as a building of that name appears in a 1738 document.
