Esclusham ((ウェールズ語:Esclus) or ''Esclys'') is a local government community, the lowest tier of local government, part of Wrexham County Borough in Wales. The community includes the villages of Bersham, Rhostyllen, Aber-oer, (Llwyneinion ) and Pentre Bychan, as well as a number of smaller settlements, the park at Erddig, and an area of the Ruabon Moors west of Aber-oer known as Esclusham Mountain. The population of the community at the 2011 Census was 3,515.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=community population 2011 )〕 ==History== The name is recorded as Esclesham or Esclusham as early as 1315, likely originating in a combination of the Old English personal name ''Æscel'' with ''ham'', "settlement"; the name is locally pronounced with stress on the second (middle) syllable, probably due to the influence of Welsh language stress patterns.〔''Nomina'', v. 11-13, 1987, 102〕 The old township of Esclusham, within the manor of Esclusham, was part of the historic Marcher Lordship of Bromfield and Yale. The ''Survey'' of topographer John Norden, carried out in 1620 within Bromfield and Yale, defined the township as follows:
The jurors noted that "vpon ye mountaynes and commons in and about this manno' do breed moore cockes and growes, w'ch gentlemen of ye countrey of Chesshire and other places do hawke and take them at some seasons of the yeare".〔 The township of Esclusham Above (i.e. "above" Offa's Dyke) was incorporated in the parish of Minera from 1844; in 1879 parts of Esclusham Above, Esclusham Below, and Erddig were incorporated in the civil parish of Esclusham.〔(GENUKI - Wrexham )〕 As a result of the Local Government Act 1972, this was itself replaced in 1974 by the Community of Esclusham, currently based in the Parish Hall, Rhostyllen. 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「Esclusham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
