Ellington – in Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England – is a village near Easton west of Huntingdon. The village itself contains just over 230 houses〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ellingtononline.org/about-ellington )〕 and according to the 2011 census data it has a population of 585 residents. The Parish "Ellington" also includes Ellington Thorpe, a smaller settlement located just less than a mile south of Ellington itself. Ellington Thorpe is a very small hamlet containing just a few 17th-century cottages. Ellington Thorpe was previously known as 'Sibthorpe'. Its total area is around 2,700 acres; however, nearly three quarters of it is grass land. Local amenities in Ellington include The Mermaid Pub, The Village hall and the All Saints Church (pictured); furthermore there are playing fields including a football pitch, tennis courts and more recently updated playground.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ellingtononline.org/about-ellington )〕 ==History== In 1870, Ellington was described as, : "A parish in the district and county of Huntingdon; on an affluent of the river Ouse, 5 miles W of Huntingdon r. station. Post town, Brampton, under Huntingdon. Acres, 2, 910. Real property, £3, 956. Pop., 413. Houses, 95. The property is much sub-divided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Ely. Value, £168. * Patron, St. Peter's College, Cambridge. The church is good; and there are a Baptist chapel, and charities £56." In terms of civil registration, from 1 July 1837, Ellington was a district of Huntingdonshire. Following this it became a sub-district of Spaldwick, but has now returned to being a district of Huntingdonshire. The Mermaid Inn is Ellington's local public house. The pub gets its name from the particular type of timber used for the skeleton of the building during construction; today the ancient beams are visible from the bar area and the dining room.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://themermaidpub.wordpress.com/ )〕 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「Ellington, Cambridgeshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
