Culpho (pronounced Cul-fo) is a hamlet of about 40 people standing just outside Grundisburgh, Suffolk, about four miles west of Woodbridge. The nearest villages are Great Bealings and Playford. The place-name 'Culpho' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as ''Culfole''. The name is spelt ''Colfho'' in 1168, ''Culfho'' in 1178, and ''Colvesho'' in 1250. The name probably means 'Cuthwulf's ''hoh'' or spur of land'.〔Eilert Ekwall, ''Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.136.〕 Culpho has its own church, St Botolph's, which is part of a shared benefice with Great Bealings, Little Bealings and Playford and is a grade II * listed building. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Name: CHURCH OF ST BOTOLPH List entry Number: 1030504 ) 〕 In 1280 an abbey was erected here〔(Hidden East Anglia )〕 on behalf of the monks of Leiston Abbey but this has long been demolished and a farmhouse now stands in its place. Culpho is one of the Thankful Villages - those very rare places that suffered no fatalities in the Great War of 1914 to 1918. == References == 〔 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「Culpho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
