The gargoyled church of St Andrews is situated in Rectory Lane and was built over a monastery. There is an area named Abbotside close to the church.^[3] The church of England village school, is also called St Andrews and is situated next to the church. It is said that there is a tunnel which runs under the church yard, across the field and eventually comes out at Abbotside. The tunnel is believed to have been used in Tudor times during the reign of Henry VIII as a safe passage by monks from the abbey.

There were several coal mines in Cromhall which worked two seams of coal, the "Top" and "Bottom".^[5] The thickness varied "in places being thirty inches thick and in others six inches or dwindled away altogether".^[6] The Old Engine works operated from 1774 to 1795, was resumed in 1815 but soon failed before being reopened again in 1819. A new colliery, to the south of the earlier works, was started in about 1827 but that too had closed by 1854. The remains of the engine house at the New Engine Works and the top of the shaft, now completely filled in, are still visible.^[7]
