Disley is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.〔Disley Parish Council; The Parish of Disley (Official Guide). (1994)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Borough of Macclesfield: Parish Clerks )〕 It is located on the very edge of the Peak District, in the Goyt Valley, very close to the county boundary with Derbyshire at New Mills, and south of Stockport, Greater Manchester. To the north of the village, the River Goyt and the Peak Forest Canal, which opened in 1800, passes along the edge of the village. Today it is a dormitory village retaining a semi-rural character. Disley railway station is on the Manchester to Buxton line, with through trains to Preston and Blackpool. The parish includes part of the neighbouring village of Newtown, the bulk of which is in Derbyshire. ==History== Its Anglo-Saxon name was ''Dystiglegh'' meaning "windy settlement" or possibly ''Wood or clearing by a mound''. In the 13th century, in the time of Edward I, there are references to confirmatory grants of land made to Jordan de Dystelegh of Disley Hall and Roger de Stanley-de-Dystelegh of Stanley Hall in the district, pointing to even older local settlements. It later had the name ''Dystelegh''.〔 Sir Piers Legh of Lyme founded St. Mary-the-Virgin Church in Disley (completed 1524) and consecrated as parish church in 1558. The earliest parish register is from 1591. The village had at least one cotton mill by the mid-19th century. As the cotton industry declined, more varied employment became the norm. In 2005, there is a paper mill and some light engineering works, but most people travel out to work. 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「Disley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
