Chollerton is a village in Northumberland, in England situated on the A6079 road, about to the north of Hexham, on the River North Tyne. Nearby villages include Low Brunton and Humshaugh. The village has a fine example of a mounting block standing at the churchyard gate.〔''Book of the British Countryside''. London: Drive Publications, (1973). p. 302.〕 The church dedicated to Saint Giles is noteworthy for the four large Roman columns built into its south aisle. These are believed to have been brought from the Roman fort of Chesters a couple of miles downstream. Chollerton is also a registration sub-district in Northumberland; its population in 1851 was 5024 people.〔(A vision of Britain Through Time )〕 The etymology of the name Chollerton is uncertain; possibly it is from the Old English "Ceolferth's tun" but more likely it meant "tun by Ceolan ford or Ceolford", if so "Ceolford" meant "Ceola's ford" (i.e. modern Chollerford).〔Ekwall, E. (1940) ''The Concise Dictionary of English Place-names''; 2nd ed. Oxford: Clarendon Press; p. 101〕〔"Chollerton" is also an older form of Chorlton, Manchester.〕 == Governance == Chollerton is in the parliamentary constituency of Hexham. 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「Chollerton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
