Aldringham is a village in Suffolk, England. The village is located 1 mile (1½ km) south of Leiston and 3 miles (4½ km) northwest of Aldeburgh close to the North Sea coast. The parish includes the coastal village of Thorpeness. The mid-2005 population estimate for Aldringham cum Thorpe parish was 730.〔http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/38314C3E-02A0-4515-92FE-8909C6FDB3A3/0/Parishestimates01to05.pdf〕 ==History== Aldringham is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Alrincham'.〔Jacek Fisiak, Peter Trudgill. ''East Anglian English'' (London: Boydell & Brewer, 2001) p. 43 ISBN 978-0-85991-571-7〕 Its placename derivation is uncertain but Ekwall indicates that it probably means 'the home of Ealdhere'〔E.V. Ekwall. ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1960. 4th edition)〕 and any similarity to Aldeburgh is coincidental. Aldringham was formerly a market town.〔J.H.F. Brabner. ''The Comprehensive Gazetteer of England and Wales'' (London: William Mackenzie, 1880)〕 The oldest building in the village is ''The Parrot and Punchbowl'' pub, which contains many references to its heavy involvement in smuggling in the two centuries after its opening in the sixteenth century.〔(Nigel Smith and Tony Green. 'Aldringham Parrot & Punchbowl', ''Suffolk Real Ale Guide'' (Ipswich: CAMRA, 2005) ). Retrieved 30 August 2008.〕 Aldringham Windmill was dismantled in 1922 and re-erected in 1923 at Thorpeness. Aldringham was the home of the poet, artist and architect Cecil Lay, and most of his architectural work is found in or near the village, including Raidsend, some houses on North Warren, and the chapel on Aldringham Heath. 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「Aldringham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
