Baguley ( )〔G. M. Miller, ''BBC Pronouncing Dictionary of British Names'' (Oxford University Press, 1971), p. 9.〕 is a small locality in Wythenshawe, and an electoral ward of the city of Manchester in North West England. Baguley is a derivation of the old English words BACGA - meaning badger, and LEAH - meaning wood (Bacga originally meant 'a bag-shaped animal'). So Baguley means 'badger's wood'. There are still plenty of badgers and woods around the area. Historically in Cheshire, Baguley is mentioned as ''Bagelei'' in the Domesday Book of 1086. It was incorporated into Manchester in 1931. ==History== Baguley Hall is a 14th-century timber-framed manor house〔http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-388166-baguley-hall-〕 that may have replaced an 11th- or 12th-century house. Most of Baguley was developed for housing after World War II as part of the Wythenshawe Estate, including many council houses and later tower blocks; Manchester City Council publications refer to Baguley as "one of Europe's biggest housing estates".〔 〕 However, much of the social housing has been sold off under the "Right To Buy" scheme and there are also several private housing developments in the area; and parkland was provided from the start under the development plan.〔 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「Baguley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
