Copgrove is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England, it is 5 miles south-west of Boroughbridge and the A1 road. The village is located near Rober Beck, a Beck that has been influenced by glaciers and overflowing channels. Copgrove was described in 1870-72 as: :"Pop., 68. Houses, 14. The property is all in one estate. Copgrove Hall is the seat of T. Duncombe, Esq., and contains some good portraits." The parish is made up of 1000 acres of land and the surface is hilly with a single stream running through it, a tributary to the Ure which separates Copgrove from the parish of Burton-Leonard. == History == The original Old English definition of Copgrove is split up into the 'Cop' and the 'grove' part 'cop meant personal name and the 'grove' part literally means grove, suggesting that the area is a landscapes consisting of woods and lots of small groups of trees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Key To English Place Names )〕 In 1309 Archbishop William de Greenfield of York passed through Copgrove. The parish mainly consisted of the Hall, the Church and a well that has been discovered. The Holy Well is on a public footpath which runs from Copgrove village through the fields belonging to Copgrove Hall: a large cistern that had been let into the course of an underground stream. History shows that the well was thought to be usable again as a sacred healing bathing place. People came to seek a cure for their ills in the miraculous waters of St Mungo's Well. 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「Copgrove」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
