Aynho (formerly spelt ''Aynhoe'') is a village and civil parish in South Northamptonshire, England, on the edge of the Cherwell valley about southeast of the north Oxfordshire town of Banbury and southwest of Brackley. Along with its neighbour Croughton to the east, it is one of the two southernmost villages in Northamptonshire, and thus is often regarded as part of the informal area of Banburyshire. It is the southernmost settlement in the entire English East Midlands region. ==History== Aynho was founded in Anglo-Saxon times. The toponym is derived from ''Aienho'', Old English for a spring, grove or hill. The circular village was surrounded by a defensive wall, parts of which can still be seen. In the 11th century Asgar, a Saxon thegn and standard bearer to Edward the Confessor owned the manor of Aynho. After the Norman conquest of England he was forced to cede the manor to Geoffrey de Mandeville, whose family retained it for several generations. Later the manor passed through the Clavering, Neville, Fitzalan, Shakerley, Tracy and Marmion families. Late in the 16th century Aynhoe Park was sold to Richard Cartwright (born 1563, a barrister and member of the Inner Temple, from a Cheshire family) who moved to Aynho in 1616. It then remained in the Cartwright Family for over three hundred years. Late in the 12th century Roger and Alice FitzRichard founded the Hospital of Saints James and John in Aynho to care for the poor, the sick and the infirm.〔Serjeantson & Adkins, 1906, pages 150-151〕 Their son Robert FitzRoger and subsequent benefactors increased the endowments of the hospital but in the 15th century it declined.〔 In 1483 the 16th Earl of Arundel granted the hospital's advowson and patronage to William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester.〔 In 1458 Waynflete had founded Magdalen College, Oxford and in 1485 he granted the hospital to the college.〔 At some time thereafter the hospital seems to have become a private house.〔 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「Aynho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
