Fryup () is a hamlet in the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire, England. It is within the civil parish of Danby, and is located alongside Great Fryup Beck in Great Fryup Dale. Fryup is separated into two small valleys or ''dales'': Great Fryup Dale and Little Fryup Dale. The majority of people live in Great Fryup Dale, with Little Fryup having only eight or nine farms and cottages. Great Fryup has no shops nor even a pub; it has a telephone box, a post box, village hall and outdoor centre which used to be the old school. There is also a local cricket pitch and Quoits pitch. ==Etymology and local myths== The curious name ''Fryup'' probably derives from the Old English reconstruction *''Frige-hop'': ''Frige'' was an Anglo-Saxon goddess equated with the Old Norse Frigg; ''hop'' denoted a small valley.〔Margaret Gelling, ‘Place-Names and Anglo-Saxon Paganism’, ''University of Birmingham Historical Journal'', 8 (1962), 7–25, at 11-12; Nicholas Brooks, Margaret Gelling and Douglas Johnson, ‘A New Charter of King Edgar’, ''Anglo-Saxon England'', 13 (1984), 137–55 at 150–1.〕 An old woman at Fryup was well known locally for keeping the ''Mark’s e’en watch'' (24 April), as she lived alongside a corpse road known as ''Old Hell Road''. The practice involved a village seer holding vigil between 11pm and 1am to watch for the wraiths of those who would die in the following 12 months. 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「Fryup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
