Barholm 〔Miller, G.M., ''BBC Pronouncing Dictionary of British Names'', Oxford University Press (1971), p. 11.〕 is a village in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is west from the A15 road, and south from Bourne. Barholm is first recorded as "Berc(a)ham" in 1086; the name is from Old English ''beorg'' + ''hām'' or ''hamm'' and means "homestead or enclosure on a hill."〔Mills, A.D., ''Dictionary of English Place-Names'', Oxford University Press, 2nd ed. (1998), p. 24.〕 Hereward (later known as Hereward the Wake) owned land in Barholm and the nearby village of Stow in the period before the Norman conquest in 1066. The church received a new tower during the English Civil War and an inscription reads: "Was ever such a thing Since the Creation? A new steeple built In the time of vexation." ==Local administration== Barholm is run through a parish meeting of its residents rather than a parish council, with two district councillors and a county councillor. The current district councillors are Kelham Cooke (Conservative) and Rosemary Woolley (Conservative). 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「Barholm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
