Edgton is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England.〔 It is also an ecclesiastical parish and a chapelry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10353439&c_id=10001043 )〕 It lies in a rather remote and very rural area, south of the River Onny.〔 The nearest market towns are Bishop's Castle, Craven Arms, Clun and Church Stretton, while the larger village of Lydbury North lies a few miles to the west.〔 It is located 4 miles west of Craven Arms and is positioned on the former stagecoach route from London to Bishop's Castle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edgton.com/ )〕 ==The village== The village of Edgton contains 3 farms and approximately 20 dwellings.〔 It has very few services as the school (built in 1872), the shop and the village public house were all closed down.〔 The school is currently used as a pottery.〔 The village is fairly compact as it is centred on the 3 farms and the church.〔 Edgton is home to St Michael’s church which was established in the early 13th century.〔 It was rebuilt in 1985-6 and is now a grade II listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-257629-church-of-st-michael-edgton )〕 Before the church was renovated it had fallen into a state of disrepair. Reverend Jones spent £250 of his own money on the repairs and £50 was contributed from the Ecclesiastical Commission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edgton.com/images/stories/downloads/18edgton-dec-1993.pdf )〕 It is a small and intimate church, containing traditional carved box pews and a recently renovated chamber organ.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.achurchnearyou.com/edgton-st-michael/ )〕 Instead of a parish council it has a parish meeting;〔(Shropshire Council ) Map of Local Joint Committee 19〕〔(CPALC ) Edgton Parish Meeting - details〕 this is due to the very small population of the parish. Edgton is believed to mean a "settlement on a hill with an edge or brow".〔 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「Edgton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
