Hawksworth is a village 1 mile west of the town of Guiseley in West Yorkshire, England. It is located to the south of Menston and north of Baildon. Hawksworth was historically a township in the large ancient parish of Otley in the West Riding of Yorkshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/WRY/Otley/index.html )〕 It became a separate civil parish in 1866. In 1937 the civil parish was abolished and merged into the new Aireborough Urban District.〔(Vision of Britain website )〕 In 1974 Aireborough was itself abolished and absorbed into the City of Leeds Metropolitan District in the new county of West Yorkshire. Hawksworth Hall, a Grade II * listed building, is a large house, probably built in the 16th century.〔(English Heritage. Images of England 433659 )〕 Hawksworth Church of England Primary School has around 100 pupils.〔(Hawksworth C of E School website )〕 Hawksworth is the model for the fictional village of "Windyridge" in the best-selling 1912 novel of that name by Willie Riley. The central character, London artist and photographer Grace Holden, finds the village by chance and decides to rent a cottage there for a year. Until the 1940s the village was often visited by readers looking for "Windyridge". == References == 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「Hawksworth, Guiseley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
