Denston is a village and civil parish in the St Edmundsbury district of Suffolk in eastern England. Located around eight miles south-west of Bury St Edmunds, in 2005 its population was 120.〔(Estimates of Total Population of Areas in Suffolk ) Suffolk County Council〕 The entire village is designated as a conservation area. There is an Anglican church whose dedication is to St Nicholas. Denston is located just south of Wickhambrook. Denston has been described as :''"DENARDISTON, or Denston, a parish in Risbridge district, Suffolk; on an affluent of the river Stour, 3¾ miles ENE of Haverhill r. station. Post town, Keddington, under Newmarket"'' -John Marius Wilson, 1870–72 ==History== A remote village in Suffolk, Denston is home to Suffolk’s finest small church. Built by the Denston family in 1460s, it has been subtly altered over time to serve a small group of priests, :''“about 50 years before the Reformation would sweep them away”. All of the church apart from the older tower was created by the family, however, those priests were a community all too poor to carry out any restoration on the building. It is :''"because of this it has a higher degree of surviving medieval liturgical integrity than virtually any other Suffolk church''”.〔 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「Denston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
