Bamford (also known as Bamford with Thornhill) is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District, England, close to the River Derwent. To the north-east is Bamford Edge, and to the south-east the location of the water treatment works covering the Ladybower, Derwent and Howden Reservoirs. Though locally Bamford is described as being in the Hope Valley, it is technically in the Upper Derwent Valley. According to the 2011 census it had a population of 1,241.〔("Area: Bamford (Parish)" )〕 ==History== Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book as ''Banford'', and likely came from Anglo-Saxon ''Bēamford'' = "tree-trunk ford". The parish church of St John the Baptist was built c. 1860.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus. 1986. ''The Buildings of England:Derbyshire''. page 81. Harmondsworth, Middx. Penguin.〕 There are also Methodist and Catholic churches in the village. The village graveyard also contains some re-interred graves from the nearly villages of Derwent and Ashopton which were drowned following the creation of Ladybower Reservoir.〔Hallam, Vic, (1989) ''Silent Valley: The Story of the lost Derbyshire villages of Derwent and Ashopton'': Sheffield, Sheaf Publishing, ISBN 0-9505458-9-9.〕 Bamford water mill has been turned into flats but some of the original machinery still remains. 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「Bamford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
