Croston was founded in the 7th century when St Aidan arrived at the riverside settlements. In the absence of a church, a cross was erected as a place of worship. The name is derived from the two Old English words 'cross' and 'tūn' (town/homestead/village) and is unique to the village.

The parish of Croston was formerly far larger than it is today. It included Chorley, Much Hoole, Rufford, Bretherton, Mawdesley, Tarleton, Hesketh Bank, Bispham, Walmer Bridge and Ulnes Walton. These became independent parishes as a result of a series of separations between 1642 and 1821.[2] A charter granted by Edward I in 1283 permitted an annual medieval fair and market to be held on the village green. Pre-20th Century maps also depict a castle which is believed to have been of a wooden construction because there is no evidence of a stone structure.

A wonderful little village with a great community spirit. Lot's going on. There's a local Petanque league that meets on Tuesday evenings with each of the many local pubs hosting facilities to play. Art classes with the fabulous local artist Rebecca Freear are popular. There are lovely walks and views around the village and many other activities and events that happen throughout the year. Don't just whizz through, take your time and explore.
