Grinton is a small village and civil parish in the Yorkshire Dales, in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. Close to Reeth and Fremington, it lies 11 miles west of Richmond on the B6270 road. On 5 July 2014, the Tour de France Stage 1 from Leeds to Harrogate passed through the village.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tour de France Stage 1 )〕 ==St Andrew's church== Often called "The Cathedral of the Dales", Grinton church is dedicated to St Andrew and was for centuries the main church for the whole of upper Swaledale, with many burials coming from miles away.〔(Gunnerside archives website, accessed 2008-11-14 )〕 The bodies were carried as much as 16 miles down the valley along the footpath from Keld, now known as the Corpse Way or corpse road, in wicker coffins. Several long stones, located at intervals along the path, traditionally called "coffin stones", are said to be where the coffin would have been set down while the pallbearers rested.〔(The Corpse Way leaflet )〕 Fragments of the old Norman church remain, including the font and the tower arch, which dates from the late 12th century.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus, ''The Buildings of England – Yorkshire: The North Riding'', Penguin (1978 edition) pp175–176 ISBN 0-14-071029-9〕 Other parts of the building date from the late 13th or early 14th century, and the pulpit is Jacobean, but St Andrew's is now mainly a 15th-century rebuild. The church is often used as a venue for concerts during the Swaledale Festival and at other times.〔( Swaledale Festival website, accessed 2008-11-14 )〕 It was featured in the British television series ''All Creatures Great and Small'', in the episode "Brotherly Love".〔("St Andrew’s Church, Grinton, N Yorks, UK – All Creatures Great & Small, Brotherly Love (1990)" ) - Waymarking.com〕 Image:GrintonChurchSouthView.jpg|St Andrew's church, Grinton, from the south Image:GrintonChurchEastView.jpg|The east end of Grinton church features three windows in the Perpendicular style 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「Grinton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
