Crowther Origins:

It is understood that “Crowther” is derived from “Crowder” - a musician who played a 14th century 3 string violin called a “Crowd”. 

The West Riding of Yorkshire, (especially Huddersfield), where the name is believed to have originated, has the greatest concentration of Crowthers with at least 1500 Crowther families.

Crowthers of Bankdam was a novel written by Thomas Armstrong and first published by Collins in October 1940. It was quite popular and reprinted several times, e.g:
·
1942 The Reprint Society
·
1947 Collins Canada
It is based around the woollen industry in the Huddersfield area and covers the period 1854-1867, 1883-1894 and 1908-1921.
