Crosscanonby (otherwise Cross Canonby)is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Allerdale, Cumbria, England. Crosscanonby is Southwest of Carlisle, South of Silloth and less than Northeast of Maryport. The parish includes the villages of Birkby, Crosby, Crosby Villa and Crosscanonby. The parish is situated within the Solway Coast, a region designated by the United Kingdom as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish council has 10 members. It is part of the Ellen ward of Allerdale borough, the Dearham and Broughton division of Cumbria county and the Workington Parliamentary Constituency. The population of 1,054〔 is served by one public house, the Stag Inn, and a primary school (both in Crosby). Crosscanonby is located less than a mile from Cumbria's West Coast, 0.5 miles off the A5996 and North of the river Ellen. It is close to the southern end of Allonby Bay, an inlet of the Solway Firth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visitcumbria.com/wc/crosscanonby.htm )〕 It is where the Norman church, St John the Evangelist's Church, Crosscanonby is situated, along with the Crosscanonby Carr. North of the village is where the Crosscanonby salt pans are found. Being known for its history as the location where salt was produced from the 1630s until about 1760, it is thought that some of the worker's cottages were constructed in this village at the same time. These cottages became a pub, then reverted to being cottages again in 1900. The coast road, B5300, which runs between the salt pans and the former cottages, was built in 1824.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thecumbriadirectory.com/Town_or_Village/location.php?url=Crosscanonby )〕 ==Etymology== The earliest form of the name was 'Crosseby' (1123–50), from the Old Norse "'krossa býr' meaning 'bȳ (village, hamlet) marked by crosses'. The name 'Crosscanonby' results from the gift of land in Crosby with the church to the canons of Carlisle." 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「Crosscanonby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
