Searching for a Roundworld referent: "Crundell House" appears to be a popular placename in Kent and Sussex, and a Google search turns up no less than three properties of this name in the area, although none are big or grand enough to be taken into consideration here. There is also a Crundale village in Kent near Canterbury in which one of the properties is located. Perhaps this is a distorted or Discworldised name for the sort of seriously grand country seat in which Edward VII might have made life interesting for the upstairs maids. Searches proceed. --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 14:08, 26 September 2011 (CEST)

:Certainly not a rich vein: the first two Google listings for ''Crundells'' are from here. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 00:36, 27 September 2011 (CEST)

The book calls the area the ''Shires'' and the estate is more than a full day by coach from Ankh-Morpork, requiring a stopover at an inn. It doesn't seem to be "in" Quirm.
