Goldhanger is a village and a civil parish on the B1026 road in the Maldon District, in the English county of Essex. Goldhanger has an agricultural museum〔(Museums in Essex )〕 and a church dedicated to St Peter. Goldhanger is at the head of a short creek, on the north side of the estuary of the River Blackwater, east northeast of the town of Maldon. There are eight major roads in Goldhanger: Head street, Fish Street, Church Street, St Peter's close, Maldon Road, Hall Estate, Sorrell Close, and finally Blind Lane. The village is directly between Maldon and Tolleshunt D'arcy and also has direct passage to the River Blackwater. The place-name ''Goldhanger'' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as ''Goldhangra''. The name means ''slope where marigold grew'', from the Old English ''golde'' meaning ''marigold''.〔Eilert Ekwall, ''Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.200.〕 ==Notable people== *John Christopher Atkinson (1814-1900), writer and antiquary 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「Goldhanger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
