Bodelwyddan ((:bɔdɛlˈwəðan)) is a town, electoral ward and community in Denbighshire, Wales, approximately 5 miles (8 km) South of Rhyl. The Parish includes several smaller hamlets, including Pengwern, approximately 1 mile (1.8 km) to the North West of Bodelwyddan itself. Bodelwyddan has a long history and is home to over sixty listed buildings〔(Listed Buildings in Bodelwyddan ) - Retrieved April 7, 2013〕 including notable locations such as the Marble Church and Bodelwyddan Castle. The population of only 2,106, increasing to 2,147 at the 2011 census,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community/Ward population 2011 )〕 is served by a single public house, a small number of shops, a primary school and a driving range; as well as having its own Community Centre. It is now bypassed by the A55 road, but continues to be a hub of activity due to the presence of Glan Clwyd Hospital, and has a Town Council who take a role in community development and hold regular meetings that are open to the public in the Local Community Centre. Since 2011, and after local residents petitioned the Town Council, invoking the Allotments Act 1908-1950, Bodelwyddan also has allotments for willing members of the Parish. ==History== The name "Bodelwyddan" translates as Abode (Bod) of Elwyddan, he being a fifth century Romano Chieftain of the area.〔Bodelwyddan Castle, A Brief History Guide〕 While Bodelwyddan may not have a long and notable history, it does contain many historic buildings, and has been the site of several important military training exercises during the two World Wars. Until 1860, Bodelwyddan was a part of the parish of St. Asaph, before being gazetted as a new and separate parish on the 3rd of August, following the construction of the Marble Church.〔(Genuki - Bodelwyddan ) - Retrieved on 7 April 2013〕 During the two World Wars, the nearby Kinmel Camp was used to house soldiers, and was the location of the Kinmel Park Riots in 1919,〔(Great War Fiction - Kinmel Camp Riots ) - Retrieved 7 April 2013〕 which led to several Canadian deaths. Historically, Bodelwyddan was home to a Lead Mine, which closed sometime between 1860 and 1900.〔(Mine-explorer ) - Bodelwyddan Lead Mine SH997749〕 The nearby "Engine Hill" was named after the mine engines designed to keep the mine's water problems under control. Engine Hill has four "main" engine shafts with multiple smaller shafts, however the majority of knowledge on earlier working has been lost.〔(Clwyd Metal Mines Survey ) - Retrieved 7 April 2013〕 The A55 road Bodelwyddan bypass was completed in 1986, and has been fundamental in shaping the changing Bodelwyddan, being at least partially responsible for the Local Development Plan and the continued existence of Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. 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「Bodelwyddan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
