Shipley is a village and civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. It lies just off the A272 road six miles (9.6 km) north east of Storrington. Shipley is first mentioned in a charter of 1073 as ''Scapeleia'', and in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Sepelei''. The name derives from the Old English ''scēap'' ('sheep') and ''lēah'' ('open ground, such as meadow, pasture, or arable land'). Thus it means 'sheep-clearing' or 'sheep-pasture'.〔''The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names Based on the Collections of the English Place-Name Society'', ed. by Victor Watts (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), s.v. ''SHIPLEY''.〕 The western River Adur flows through the village, where it meets a significant tributary, Lancing Brook. The parish has a land area of 3125 hectares (7720 acres). In the 2001 census 1075 people lived in 448 households of whom 596 were economically active. Shipley was home to Hilaire Belloc〔(Schoolnet on Belloc )〕 who in 1906 purchased Kings Land, with a house, and Shipley Windmill, which was used in the television series ''Jonathan Creek'' as Creek's residence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shipley Windmill )〕 ==Hamlets== Other villages located in the parish include: *Broomer's Corner 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「Shipley, West Sussex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
