Burton Dassett is a parish and shrunken medieval village in Warwickshire. Much of the area is now the Burton Dassett Hills country park. It was enclosed for sheep farming by Sir Edward Belknap at the end of the 15th century.〔Maurice Beresford, ''The Lost Villages of England'' (Sutton Publishing, 1983)〕 It was the home of Sir Thomas Temple as a child, and for several generations was regarded by the Temple family of Stowe, Buckinghamshire as their ancestral home. There is a heraldic memorial to John Temple and his children in Burton Dassett church.〔(Victoria County History of Warwickshire )〕 Each of the twelve shields represents one of John Temple's children. The left half of each shield represents the husband and the right half represents the wife. The twelfth (undivided) shield represents Temple's son George who died young and therefore did not marry. Susannah Smith, the wife of agriculturalist Jethro Tull was born in the village. ==Notes== 〔 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「Burton Dassett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
