History
On the UK Directorate of Overseas Surveys 1:50,000 map of 1973,[3] two small, neighbouring communities are shown in this vicinity, both centred on minor road junctions:
- a village called The Cross with a school and postal agency
- a hamlet called Palmers
It seems that in the years since they have grown and merged, their names being combined in the process.
