Christian Malford
Christian Malford is a village in the county of Wiltshire in England. The unusual name is evidently a corruption of ''Christ mal Ford'', Old English ''moel, mal'' being a mark: "Christ’s mal" is Christ’s mark or sign, the cross. Thus the name signified "Cross Ford". Deeds from Glastonbury Abbey cartulary relate to Christmalford Manor: in AD 940 King Edmund granted Christmalford to St Dunstan, Abbot of Glastonbury.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getcom.php?id=59 )〕
Christian Malford Primary School was opened circa 1820.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.christianmalford.wilts.sch.uk )〕
The Great Western Railway passes close to the village. Following the closure of Christian Malford Halt in 1965, the nearest station is Chippenham
The village is known to palaeontologists as a rediscovered Lagerstätte, a site of remarkably preserved fossils, in this case in the Middle Jurassic Oxford clay, in which a chance discovery in the 19th century uncovered thousands of exquisitely preserved ammonites, fish and crustaceans. The site, whose exact location had not been publicly disclosed, became most famous for squid-like cephalopods and belemnites, complete with their phosphatized soft parts. The site was rediscovered in 2008.〔Philip R. Wilby et al., "Preserving the unpreservable: a lost world rediscovered at Christian Malford, UK", ''Geology Today'' 24.3, (2008:95-98); (''Times On-line'', "Jurassic treasure trove lost by Victorians found by Phil Wilby, fossil sleuth" ), 24 October 2008, accessed 20 August 2009.〕
