Arne is a village and civil parish in the Purbeck district of Dorset, England; situated east of Wareham. The local travel links are located at Wareham railway station. Bournemouth International Airport is away. The main road through the village is Arne Road connecting Arne to Wareham. The village is situated on the Arne Peninsula, which protrudes into Poole Harbour opposite the town of Poole. ==History== Evidence of prehistoric human activity within the civil parish consists of 19 barrows and the remains of 4 linear dykes. The most significant of the barrows is the 'King's Barrow' at Stoborough, which probably dates from the Early Bronze Age.〔 The dykes are on Worgret Heath; they are undated but analogy with similar structures elsewhere suggests Romano-British origins.〔 In the Roman period there was also a salt industry of significant size on the shore of Poole Harbour.〔 Arne village is not recorded in the Domesday Book. The earliest record of the village is from 1285, though the parish church, which consists of a single-cell chancel and nave, dates from around 1200, and has not been substantially altered since, though it was restored in the 19th century and in 1952.〔 In medieval times the parish of Arne was much smaller; it covered on the Arne peninsula and adjacent heathland. In the late 19th century it was expanded to include the two parts of Wareham Holy Trinity parish that separately covered Stoborough and Middlebere, and the part of Wareham Lady St Mary parish that covered Worgret, resulting in Arne parish more than doubling in size.〔 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「Arne, Dorset」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
