Barkston is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated approximately north from the market town of Grantham, and on the A607 road, just south of the junction with the A153 to Ancaster. ==History== The village is named in the Domesday Book as ''"Barchestune"'', and the name probably means "the farmstead of a man called Barkr." The Deserted Medieval Village of Ringsthorpe was located just to the west of Barkston, on the other side of the river Witham. Mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'', the latest archaeology at the site is from the Medieval period, and the last documentary mention is in the 14th century. Built in 1640 and re-built in 1839, (Hickson's Almshouses ) provide homes for local elderly people.〔(Charity record for Hickson's Almshouses )〕 Barkston railway station was at the (junction ) of the ECML and Sleaford railways, near Barkston South junction. 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「Barkston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
