Frinsted or Frinstead〔Youngs, F., Local Administrative Units: Southern England (London: Royal Historical Society, 1979), p. 271〕 is a small village and civil parish in the ecclesiastical parish of Wormshill and in the Maidstone District of Kent, England. and has been a recorded settlement (under the name Fredenestede) as far back as the Domesday Book and indeed was the only settlement in the surrounding area to be described at the time to have a church.〔(Frinsted ) entry in the Domesday Book of 1086, at the NationalArchives.gov,uk〕 The village exists in the Hundred of Eyhorne (and has been mentioned as such dating back to the Kent Hundred Rolls of 1274 to 1275).〔(The Kent Hundred Rolls ) at KentArchaeology.org (PDF)〕 The parish is situated on the North Downs between Sittingbourne and Maidstone some ten miles (16 km) south of The Swale. To the West lies the village of Wormshill, to the North East the village of Milstead and the hamlet of Kingsdown (including the Torry Hill estate) and to the South and South East are the villages of Doddington and Newnham. The part of the parish northward of the church is in the division of East Kent, but the church itself, and the remaining part of it is in West Kent.〔 The village is surrounded by former manor houses or "courts" being to the east ''Wrinsted court'' and to the west, ''Yokes Court'' and ''Madams Court''. The population is relatively unchanged in the past 200 years. In 1801 Frinsted's total population was 153. After rising to 219 around 1871,〔(Frinsted's entry at ) the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72) by John Marius Wilson〕 by the 1901 census the population had dropped to 126. By 1971 the population was 138. At the 2001 census, the population was 171.〔(Frinsted pages ) at VisionofBritain.org.uk〕〔(2001 Census Results ) at Kent.gov.uk〕 The village church is today dedicated to St Dunstan although an early-19th century watercolour records it as dedicated to All Saints.〔(Photograph of a watercolour ) dated 1807 of Frinstead ==History== 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「Frinsted」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
