old savage of Cranfield

Who was he!? Is this a reference to a real person? The phrase was used during an interview about missing cheese! (see bucks board)

This was around 1831. In the same document the phrase "crows butchers" is used.

I thought that too, bit of an odd thing to say though, so i wondered if he had some sort of reputation!!
