Allestree is a suburb and ward of the city of Derby, a unitary authority area, in Derbyshire, England. It is the northernmost ward and is situated on the A6 road, about north of Derby city centre. It is bordered by the district of Amber Valley along its western and northern edges and Erewash in its north-east corner. To the south it borders the ward of Mackworth and to the east the ward of Darley Abbey. Allestree village was previously part of the Earl of Northumbria's estate before the Norman Conquest and was mentioned in the Doomesday book as part of the Markeaton estate. The Allestree estate was acquired by the Mundy family in 1516 and stayed in the family until it was bought by Derby City Council in the early 20th century. The ward now contains the remaining parts of the village of Markeaton and became a parish in its own right in 1864 and was incorporated into the Borough of Derby in 1968. The ward is largely residential and has two parks, Allestree Park to the north and Markeaton Park to the south. Markeaton park is the most used leisure facility in Derby with over 1 million visitors a year. The shopping needs of the area are met with the Park Farm shopping centre which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013 and at its inception was one of the largest of its kind in Europe. ==History== Middle Ages Before the Norman conquest Allestree was a hamlet consisting of a few scattered dwellings that was part of the holding of the Earl of Northumbria.〔 Later it was recorded in the Domesday book of 1086 as Adelardestreu,〔Davies, David Peter ''History of Derbyshire: Derbyshire's Parishes 1811'' transcribed by (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Andrew Pages, The )〕 an outlier of the Manor of Markeaton held by Hugh, Earl of Chester.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Allestree in Domesday Book )〕 It was given by William the Conqueror to Henry de Ferrers as a reward for his work in the Norman Conquest and later it passed to the Touchet family of Markeaton. During the 12th century most of the land changed hands and was sold to the Abbey of St Mary, in Darley, and then rented back to the Touchet family. It was purchased by Sir John Mundy along with the estates of Markeaton and Mackworth from Lord Audley in 1516〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Photographs of Markeaton, Derby, England )〕 and stayed in the family's possession until it was sold to the Evans family in 1781. Between 1660 and 1690, Derby was represented in Parliament by Roger Allestry and his son William Allestry. They took their name from the village, rather than vice versa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ALLESTRY, William )〕 Allestree Village Allestree was formally a distinct rural settlement centred around St Edmund's Church, the old village centre was designated a Conservation Area by the City Council in September 1991.〔 The designated area starts on Cornhill encompassing part of the golf course on Allestree Park. All houses on St Edmund Close, Siddals Lane, The Poplars and the area to the north of Church Walk are included, as well as St Edmund's Church and the adjacent ''Red Cow'' inn. The area surrounding the old village centre contains seven listed buildings, the church being the oldest, dating back to the 12th century.〔"(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Allestree, Derby, England )〕 The church dates from the 12th century but all that remains of the original building is the ornately-carved Romanesque doorway. The village became a parish in its own right in 1864 and was incorporated into the Borough of Derby in 1968. Parts of the civil parish of Markeaton were incorporated into Allestree in 1934.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History of Markeaton )〕 Markeaton was originally a large estate that spread out through the northwest of Derby. It contained three outlying settlements that would later become Manors in their own right: Allestree, Knivedon, and Mackworth. It was owned at the time, as was Allestree, by Earl Hugh of Chester and controlled by a member of the Touchet family.〔〔 The area now within Allestree contains what is left of the old village centre, which is Markeaton manor, its grounds and Markeaton park. Substantial development in the 1960s and 1970s led to the incorporation of Allestree into the borough of Derby in 1968.〔〔 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「Allestree」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
