Harlaston is a village and civil parish〔 in Staffordshire, England. It lies on the River Mease, about north of Tamworth. There is an Early English church, dedicated to ''St Matthew'',〔 and a public house, the ''White Lion''. Harlaston is a conservation area, and has won the Staffordshire Best Kept Small Village award 5 times.〔 ==History== The name Harlaston comes from Old English, and means either ''Heoruwulfs farm'' or ''Heorulafs farm''.〔 It has been suggested that the church goes back to the 11th century and is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Certainly, a corn mill is mentioned in the Domesday Book.〔 Until 1845 Harlaston was a chapelry of the parish of Clifton Campville, after which date it became an independent ecclesiastical parish.〔 In 1851 the population was 221, on about 1400 acres of land. There were 2 lords of the manor, Captain Theophilus Levett and W Chettle, though much of the land belonged to other people.〔 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「Harlaston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
