Great Eversden is a village 6 miles south-west of Cambridge, England. The Prime Meridian runs through the parish just to the east of the village, separating it from Little Eversden. Great Eversden is a small village of about 85 houses. It broadly takes the shape of a cross, with the Haslingfield to Kingston road forming the East and West arms (called Church Street and the High Street), and the no-through-roads of Chapel Road and Wimpole Road forming the North and South arms. ==History== The history of Great Eversden is closely related to that of its neighbour Little Eversden, though the two have formed distinct parishes since at least the 13th century. The parish of Great Eversden, covering 1400 acres, lies between the Bourn Brook to the north and Mare Way, the ancient ridgeway, to the south. Little Eversden lies to the east of the village. Prehistoric activity has recently been recorded in the parish in the form of a number of flint tools and waste flakes dating from the Neolithic. One Iron Age Trinovantian coin has been recovered and a hitherto unknown Roman Farmstead is being recorded.〔(Local Archaeologist Dominic Shelley )〕 Great Eversden was settled before Little Eversden and is the larger of the two.〔 The name "Eversden" means "vale of a man named Eofory". 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「Great Eversden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
