Fiskerton is a small village in Nottinghamshire, England on the west bank of the River Trent about 3 miles southeast of Southwell. The waterfront is home to million-pound residential properties,〔(Fiskerton House was Manor Excess of £995,000 ) Savills property Retrieved 2014-08-19〕 previously residences of merchants and businessmen who commuted in the 1800s to nearby Nottingham by rail from Fiskerton Station.〔 The village's picturesque location beside the Trent attracts walkers, picnickers and casual visitors in summer,〔http://www.newarkcamra.org.uk/pubguide/pubs/bromley.htm Newark Camra area pub guide〕 centred on the riverside pub/restaurant (was called the Bromley Arms, renamed as ''The Bromley at Fiskerton'' in 2014)〔(Whatpub guide ) Retrieved 2014-08-17〕〔(Newark Camra Pub Guide: Bromley Arms, Fiskerton ) Retrieved 2014-08-17〕 and used as a friendly cafe-type base also serving snacks and refreshments. ==History== The 1086 Domesday entry for Fiskerton mentioned arable land enough for seven ploughs, two mills, a fishery, a ferry and 42 acres of meadow, pasture and woodland.〔 Fishing and agriculture remained important, but with close proximity to the River Trent, Fiskerton developed other industries. By 1842 there were wharfs, coal yards and warehouses along the river front together with a large malthouse owned by Newark brewer, James Hole. There was a watermill on the River Greet and a windmill on what is now Station Road.〔 An important development was the opening of the Nottingham to Lincoln railway in August 1846 with the station close to the village centre. By the end of the century, many wharfs and warehouses had disappeared, replaced by substantial residences like Fiskerton House and Fiskerton Manor on the riverside.〔 The large malthouse on The Wharf closed in 1904 when James Hole decided to concentrate business in Newark, the premises being converted into a grain-store, with the wharf used for loading and unloading materials destined for Southwell corn mill. In the 1970s it became a boat building business and then in the 1980s a private residence.〔(Growth of Fiskerton, Fiskerton cum Morton ) Retrieved 2014-08-17〕 Until the 1950s there was a ferry boat service over to the other side of the River Trent at Stoke Field.〔http://www.nottspubs.co.uk/walks/mortonwalk.html Pub Walks - Morton, Fiskerton, Bleasby and River Trent〕 Fiskerton Mill lies on the River Greet a few hundred yards upstream from its junction with the River Trent.〔http://www.igreens.org.uk/fiskerton_mill.htm ''Fiskerton mill on the river Greet'' (pictures)〕 Fiskerton Windmill was a wooden postmill with a substantial brick roundhouse, standing off Station Road. A mill was marked at this site on Chapman's map of 1774. The mill ceased working some time in the last quarter of the 19th century. Only the roundhouse now remains.〔Shaw, T. (1995). ''Windmills of Nottinghamshire''. Page 21. Nottingham: Nottinghamshire County Council. ISBN 0-900986-12-3〕 Richard Thomas Parker, who murdered his mother in Fiskerton in 1864, was the last person to be publicly hanged in Nottingham. The village of Fiskerton is also known in Evangelical Christian circles as the homeplace of Henri and Connie Staples,〔http://glory-people.org/testimonies/Cstaples.htm The Glory People: Connie Staples〕 who lived there from 1964 to 2000〔http://fiskerton.org/ Henri's Revivals Fiskerton〕 and regularly held 'revival meetings' in the Methodist Chapel.〔http://www.glory-people.org/about/History.htm The Glory People: History〕 Residential development occurred within Fiskerton between 1960 and 2000s, including the ''Green Drive'' area in 2002, which gave the village a permanent open space known as the Village Green, culminating in Fiskerton being the commuter village of today.〔 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「Fiskerton, Nottinghamshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
