Gisburn (formerly Gisburne) is a village, civil parish and ward within the Ribble Valley borough of Lancashire, England. It lies northeast of Clitheroe and west of Skipton. The parish of Gisburn had a population of 506, and the ward had 1287, recorded in the 2001 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Parish headcount ) and (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Ward populations )〕 The former spelling of ''Gisburne'' was phased out after the introduction of railways in the parish. Gisburn railway station was closed under the Beeching Axe in 1962. Before standardized spelling, ''Gisburne'' and similar spellings were also sometimes used for Guisborough in North Yorkshire, leading to Gisburn often being referred to as "Gisburn in Craven". ==Description== Historically Gisburn was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, within the Deanery of Craven, and Wapentake of Staincliffe. It touched the historic county of Lancashire on the south. Today it is in Lancashire, and touches North Yorkshire on the north. Geographically, Gisburn is a rural area, surrounded by hilly and relatively unpopulated areas, with Bowland Forest to the west, Pendle Hill to the south, and the Yorkshire Dales and Pennines not far to the north and east. The relatively flat Ribble valley runs through the parish with the A59 running parallel. The Roman road from Ribchester to Ilkley once passed through the area also. Gisburn is home to an auction mart, the medieval St Mary the Virgin Church and the private hospital, BMI Gisburne Park, set in the former home of the Lister family, the Barons Ribblesdale. This church was responsible for the older and larger ecclesiastical parish of Gisburn, which approximated the modern ward of Gisburn, and also included the modern civil parishes of Gisburn Forest (now united in a council with neighbouring Bolton by Bowland and Sawley), Paythorne, Newsholme, Horton, Rimington and Middop (the last two forming one council area). Nappa and Swinden were also part of the old parish but are now in North Yorkshire and no longer attached to Gisburn ward. In summer 2010, the village controversially featured in a television advertisement for the Renault Mégane〔(Anger as Renault TV advert pokes fun at Gisburn at lancashiretelegraph.co.uk )〕 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「Gisburn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
