The CRACKNELL family lived in the village of Redlingfield, in the Hundred of Hartismere.
Manor of Redlingfield
In the year 1120 Manasses de Gratia, Earl of Ghisness (or Guisnes) and Emma his wife, daughter of William de Arras, built here, upon a lordship belonging to the said William, a Benedictine nunnery, which was endowed with portions of the churches of Milton, Walpole, Levington, Redlingfield and Rishangles, with the manors of the last two named places, and lands and tithes in about 30 other parishes.

The village of Eye had a Benedictine monastery.
How did I come across all this?
By continuing to follow up on branches of my family tree.
I'm finding it fascinating, especially as my searches are leading me away from the North of England. I wrote family tree, but it ought to be trees as it's so convoluted. I must admit to searching hither and thither around the lists of names and into the places where they lived and occupations.
Cotton, calico, wool and timber, spinning, weaving, and printing for one north of England branch.
The Cracknells worked in agriculture, similar to family in the north, in Chipping.
