Frithville is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population is 549, increasing at the 2011 Census to 568.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil Parish population 2011 )〕 It is situated on the B1183 road, approximately north from Boston, and in the West Fen fenland area. ==History== The name Frith comes from the Old English ''fyrhoe'', meaning wood or woody pasture. The first mention of Frith in historic records is in 1323, when it was called Le Frith; in 1512 it was referred to as "The Kings Frith beside Boston". Formerly extra-parochial land, Frithville was enclosed in 1802. It was organized as a parochial township in 1812. This is a rural area with an economy based on agriculture. Chief crops in the late 19th century were wheat and beans.〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, p. 399〕 The Anglican church of Saint Peter was built in 1821, much later than many in Lincolnshire, and is a Grade II listed building.〔("Church of St Peter" ), ''National Heritage List for England'', English Heritage. Retrieved 2 August 2011〕 It is located in the hamlet of Mount Pleasant, which was included in the township of Frithville when the latter was organized. It is one of several churches built in the area under the Fen Churches Act of 1816.〔 In 1885 ''Kelly's Directory'' reported that the brick-built church and the vicarage were erected simultaneously. The parish also had a Wesleyan chapel.〔 Frithville has a primary school and an agricultural shop. Because of flooding in the Fens, Frithville is crossed by several drains, constructed to reduce water damage to agriculture and settlements. These include the West Fen Drain, the Twenty Foot Drain, and the Medlam Drain. They are used for recreation by boaters in the summer. 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「Frithville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
