Barcheston is a village and civil parish in the Stratford district of Warwickshire, England. It is on the east bank of the River Stour, opposite Shipston-on-Stour. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 134. Ralph Ardern inherited the manor of Barcheston between 1382 (the death of his father, Henry de Ardern) and 1408 (the death of his mother).〔 (Roskell, J.S.; Clark, L.; Rawcliffe, C. eds. ''The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1386-1421'', 1993 )〕 Whether or not he was ever resident is unknown. The first English tapestry factory was the Sheldon Looms, established here in Warwickshire by William Sheldon about the middle of the 16th century. The tapestries produced here compare well with the finest contemporary Flemish weavings. Some of these consisted of large tapestry maps of English counties. An outline of Barcheston's history can be found in the Victoria County History, Warwickshire.〔(Victoria County History, Warwickshire vol 5 (1949) on-line, pp. 5-9 Accessed 2 March 2013 )〕 ==See also== * Mortlake Tapestry Works 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「Barcheston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
