Easton Grey is a small village and civil parish in north Wiltshire, England. It is on the B4040 road between Malmesbury and Sherston, about west of Malmesbury. The Fosse Way Roman road forms the eastern boundary of the parish. Near where the Fosse Way crosses the Sherston branch of the River Avon is the site of a large Romano-British roadside settlement, possibly with earlier origins. The village has a 16th-century bridge over the Avon. Overlooking the river valley is Easton Grey House, a country house from the late 18th century. In the 1880s the house was a retreat for the social circle known as The Souls, which included Margot Asquith, and the house a favourite resort of her husband H. H. Asquith during his premiership; it subsequently developed an association with the then Prince of Wales. The Church of England parish church has a 15th-century tower and was rebuilt in 1836.〔Pevsner & Cherry, 1975, page 233〕 It was designated as Grade II * listed in 1959. Within the parish is the Whatley Manor hotel and restaurant, recipient of two Michelin stars. The parish is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which performs all significant local government functions. Owing to its small population, there is no parish council; instead the first tier of local government is a parish meeting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Wiltshire Council )〕 ==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「Easton Grey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
