Toponymy

In 1375 it was recorded as Resincrous which means ford of the cross in Cornish. Other spellings since then include Reysangrous (1520), Roseangrowes (1659), Roseangrowse (1725) and Rosangrows (1755).[2] In 1882 the parish of Ludgvan was served a Bill of Indictment for the non-repair of the highway between Long Rock and Rous-an-Crous.[3]
