Broughton Moor is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria, England. It is situated on an extensive moor about north of Broughton and north west of Cockermouth. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 726,〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Allerdale'' ) Retrieved 2009-11-23〕 increasing to 783 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 The village is about south of Maryport. In addition to the village of Broughton Moor, the parish includes Harker Marsh (). == History == The earliest record of Broughton Moor (then spelled Broghton more) appeared as early as 1187 in Holme Cultram Abbey records.〔(The Register and Records of Holme Cultram )〕 Broughton Moor was formed into a civil parish on October 1, 1898, by Local Government Board Order 38,315, from Great Broughton and Little Broughton townships,〔Kelly's Directory of Cumbria 1929〕 and was in the Workington division of the county, the ward of Allerdale-below-Derwent, Derwent petty sessional division, ''Cockermouth Poor Law Union'', the county court district of Cockermouth and Workington, the rural deanery of Maryport and the archdeaconry and diocese of Carlisle. The church of St Columba, erected in 1904, is a building of stone, with chancel, nave, south porch and a tower containing one bell. The Church was consecrated on 3 May 1905. It was built by the villagers under the direction of Lloyd Wilson to the designs of the well-known church architect, W. D. Caroe, who gave his services gratuitously. It is said that Mr Caroe had recently returned from a visit to St Columba's on the Isle of Iona and that he was influenced by the ruined abbey church of Our Lady, hence the feeling of early Celtic influence. Until 1936, St Columba's, was a chapelry in the Parish of Christ Church, Little Broughton. It is now a listed building. Although only a small church of approximately 100 seats, it has an atmosphere which is often commented on by visitors. In the last 18 months it has undergone extensive restoration and is about to be internally redecorated. The register dates from 1905. There is a Wesleyan chapel, built in 1903, and there was a Primitive Methodist chapel, built 1864. There were collieries here and opencast coal sites cleared many of the deep mines in April 1958.〔West Cumberland Coal 1600-1982/3 by Oliver Wood〕 Coal production ceased at Broughton Moor in June 1959, but was started up again sometime after 1964 when the ''Blooming Heather'' opencast site extended towards the village from nearby Dearham. The soil is limey; subsoil, stone. The population in 1912 was 932. Between the 1930s and 1992 the area was home to ''Royal Navy Armaments Depot Broughton Moor'' 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「Broughton Moor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
