Cuckney is a small village in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, between Worksop and Market Warsop. The A60 road connects Market Warsop and Cuckney via Cuckney Hill. ==History== The grounds of Cuckney Parish Church, a Grade I listed building, contain the remains of Cuckney Castle. George Sitwell, Ironmaster mined iron locally and he built a blast furnace here in the seventeenth century.〔Philip Riden, ‘Sitwell, George (bap. 1601, d. 1667)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 2 March 2010 )〕 In 1853 there were two large watermills on the river Poulter in Cuckney, one for cotton, another for corn. An earlier cotton mill had burnt down in 1792. 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「Cuckney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
