Great Bolas
Great Bolas, or Bolas Magna, is a small village in rural Shropshire, England. It is situated north-west of the town of Newport, and about eight miles north of Telford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visitoruk.com/historydetail.php?id=25531&cid=592&f=Telford )〕 It is part of the civil parish of Waters Upton. It is situated at the confluence of the Tern and the small River Meese. There is a hamlet called Little Bolas a short distance to the west. Another hamlet called Meeson, south of the River Meese, was formerly a separate township of Great Bolas parish.〔(Great Bolas ), GENUKI〕 == Etymology == The placename is attested in medieval documents since c.1200 as ''Boulewas'', ''Bouldwas'', ''Boulwas'' and similar forms. It is believed to derive from a compound whose second element was the Old English word ''wæsse'' (Middle English ''was''), possibly meaning 'a riverside place that is prone to quick flooding'; this element is thought to appear also in the names Alrewas, Broadwas, Buildwas, Hopwas, Rotherwas and Sugwas. The first element has been identified as either a form of Old English *''bogel'' 'little bend',〔 or of Old English ''bold'' 'house'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.melocki.org.uk/salop/GreatBolas.html )〕
