If you call up "Little Arowry" on "old maps", the modern map initially displayed shows "Cran y Mor" near Croxton pool.
"Cran y Mor" doesn't seem to be recorded on old maps.

Think "Cran y Mor" might be your "Cronimos"

Looks very likely!

 :-X  I only looked at the oldmaps  -  :-X

Living Little Arowery in 1891 RG12/2120/44/14

Brother Joseph was b. Little Arowry, 1879  and in 1881, they're living at Little Arowry.

Added - nothing in  the vicinity of Little Arowry on 3 old-maps maps that I've looked at

The 1901 Census lists
Sch No 76 - Platt House - Charles Williams
Sch No 76 - Little Arrowery - William Whitfield, age 27
Sch No 77 - Little Arrowery - William Whitfield, age 55

You can see "Platt House" on old maps

I'm just reading an 1870s book about Hanmer and it mentions 'a grant... of waste lands near 'Cronemoss', now called Cronymoor, in Hanmer', which sounds very much like it is your place and probably the Cron y Mor already mentioned. You might find the book interesting:
