Camborne ((コーンウォール語:Kammbronn), 'Crooked Hill') is a town and civil parish in west Cornwall, England, UK. It is at the western edge of a conurbation comprising Camborne, Pool and Redruth.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕 The population of Camborne was 14,726 in 1901〔 and 20,010 at the 2001 census.〔 〕 By 2011 the population had grown to 20,845.〔Office for National Statistics, Key Figures for 2011 Census: Key Statistics, Area: Camborne parish〕 In the same year the population of the Camborne-Redruth urban area, which also includes Carn Brea, Illogan and several satellite villages, stood at 55,400〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=31822 )〕 making it the largest conurbation in Cornwall. The following settlements are in the civil parish: Barripper, Beacon, Bolenowe, Boswyn, Carwynnen, Coombe, Croft Mitchell, Higher Condurrow, Kehelland, Killivose, Menadarva, Nancemellin, Pengegon, Penponds, Reskadinnick, Rosewarne, Roskear Croft, Stennack, Tolcarne, Treslothan, Treswithian, Treswithian Downs and Troon.〔(Cornwall ); Explore Britain〕 The Northern edge of the parish includes a section of the South West Coast Path which includes; Hell's Mouth and Deadman's Cove. Camborne is located in what was formerly one of the richest tin mining areas in the world and was once the home to the Camborne School of Mines (see below). The School of Mines moved from the centre of Camborne to Trevenson, Pool and is now a specialist department of the University of Exeter, based at Penryn Campus. == History == In 1931 the ruins of a Roman villa were found at Magor Farm, Illogan, near Camborne, and excavated that year under the guidance of the Royal Institution of Cornwall.〔B.H. St. J. O'Neil, "Roman villa in Cornwall", ''Antiquity'' 5 (1931), pp .494–5, with photographs〕 It is the only Roman villa found in the whole of Cornwall. An inscribed altar stone found at Camborne (now in the Church of St Martin and St Meriadoc), and dated to the tenth or eleventh centuries, attests to the existence of a settlement then.〔See the discussion and bibliography in Elisabeth Okasha, ''Corpus of early Christian inscribed stones of South-west Britain'' (Leicester: University Press, 1993), pp.82–84.〕 Langdon (1896) records seven stone crosses in the parish of which two are at Pendarves. 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「Camborne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
