The variation of the Calverley. John Scott came into England in the suite of the Princess Maud of Scotland, on her marriage with King Henry I., and acquired the estate of Calverley, county of York, whence he adopted the surname, and where he was resident in 1136. From him descended a right knightly progeny.
An adaptation of Calvary. Many monastic establishments had within their ambit an elevated mound representing the supposed 'mount' Calvary, the scene of our Lord's Passion. A spiral path leading to its summit was called "the way of the cross," (ria crucis,) and hither on Good Fridays a large crucifix was borne in procession by the monks, and fixed upon the summit. A fine example of a calrary exists at Lewes Priory. The surname was probably derived from residence near such a spot.
