EnglandCryle is an ancient Norman name that arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Cryle family lived at Kirkley, a township in the parish of Poneteland in the county of Northumberland. The family name Cryle became popular in England after the Norman Conquest, when William the Conqueror gave his friends and relatives most of the land formerly owned by Anglo-Saxon aristocrats.
The surname Cryle was first found in Sussex where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Ashburnham, anciently Esseborne. These estates, including three salt houses, were granted to Robert de Criel, a Norman Knight, by William, Duke of Normandy for his assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D., and is so noted in the Domesday Book, [1] a survey taken of landholders in England in 1086. Robert de Criel was from the Castle of Criel near Criel-sur-Mer in the arrondisement of Dieppe. Part of the walls of this huge castle are still standing, and there are also traces of a moat. Robert's chief tenant was the Count of Eu.

Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.
