Crosby Garrett is a hamlet and civil parish in the Eden District of Cumbria, England. It was formerly in the county of Westmorland. The place-name 'Crosby Garrett' is first attested in a document of 1200, where it appears as ''Crosseby'', and in another of 1206, where it appears as ''Crossebi Gerard''. The first name is Old Scandinavian ''Krossa-byr'', meaning 'village or homestead with crosses'. 'Garrett' is the French personal name 'Gerard', which is ultimately of Germanic origin.〔Eilert Ekwall, ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.132.〕 In May 2010 the Crosby Garrett Helmet, a copper alloy parade helmet dating to Roman Britain, was discovered near the hamlet by a father and son using a metal detector. The helmet was sold to a private buyer at Christie's later that year for £2.3 million. ==Description== The parish contains no settlements of any size other than the village of Crosby Garrett, and much of the parish is on Crosby Garrett Fell to the south-west of the village. The Settle to Carlisle railway passes through the parish, at the southwestern edge of the village on the Crosby Garrett viaduct;〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.railwayphotos.net/sc/ais_gill-appleby.html )〕 the village once had a railway station, Crosby Garrett station, which closed in 1952. The parish church of St. Andrew has an Anglo-Saxon chancel, the remainder of the church dates between the 12th and 15th centuries. In 2010, a major restoration project was undertaken.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crosby Garrett - St Andrew's Church )〕 The highest point in the parish is Nettle Hill at . 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「Crosby Garrett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
