A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

In the H.R. Le Crower. Among the religious puerilities of the middle ages was the office of "King's Cockcrower." I have seen in some old wardrobe accounts of (I think) the time of Edward I. entries for the payment of a person for crowing like a cock at the door of the king's bedchamber at Easter. Hence probably the surname.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower
