Albrighton is a small village in the North Shropshire district of Shropshire, England. It is situated on the A528 Shrewsbury-Ellesmere road and is roughly north of Shrewsbury. After a history of being its own parish, it currently lies in the parish of Pimhill. According to the United Kingdom Census 2001, the parish population of Pimhill was 2008,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Neighbourhood Statistics – 2001 census )〕 with the number of these habiting in Albrighton being 273.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Encyclopedia results for Albrighton, Shrewsbury and Atcham )〕 It is first mentioned in the Domesday Book, as Etbritone ("Ēadbeorht’s settlement"). Albright Hussey was once part of the same manor, and indeed shared the same name originally. ==History== Until 1886, Albrighton was traditionally a chapelry in the parish of Shrewsbury St. Mary, because of the close proximity, along with other small local villages Wollascott and Leaton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Melocki – Albrighton Registers )〕 As well as being in the hundreds of Pimhill,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parishmouse – Albrighton near Shrewsbury Cassey Shropshire Directory 1875 )〕 Albrighton used to be its own parish. Albrighton civil parish succeeded its status as a chapelry, after being created in 1866.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= A Vision of Britain through time – Unit History of Albrighton )〕 Over time, the parish would vary in size, and in April 1934 after the Salop Review Order,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= London Gazette 22 January 1937 )〕 there were major boundary changes around Shropshire, with Albrighton being enlarged by 965 acres by the abolition of Battlefield and Shrewsbury St. Alkmund. However the parish became abolished in 1967, just over a hundred years since its creation. The abolition of Albrighton was to enlarge the current administrative parishes of Pimhill and Astley after The Salop (No.2) Order, 1966.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Vision of Britain through time – Relationships and Unit History )〕 After this, Albrighton became part of the parish of Pimhill. The church in the village is dedicated to St. John the Baptist, and is a stone building in the early Norman style.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parishmouse – Albrighton near Shrewsbury Cassey Shropshire Directory 1875 )〕 According to The Church of England, it was built in 1840 and opened for the first time a year later.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Church of England – A church near you )〕 It is described by John Marius Wilson, the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales as "a very good church."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Vision of Britain through time – Description )〕 In contemporary society it hosts regular events. Albrighton’s earliest population figures date back to the late 19th century, when in 1881 the population stood at 102. After turn of the century the population began to decline, with figures reaching as little as 77 in 1931. However, after this there was a sharp increase in the population with the 1961 census showing 248.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Vision of Britain through time – Total Population )〕 This is supported by the number of houses being built after 1930, with the increase being more than threefold.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vision of Britain through time – Total Houses )〕 One reason for this might be because the first council houses were built in Shrewsbury in between the wars, as part of the 1930s slum clearance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Local History of Shrewsbury )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albrighton, Shrewsbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
