Headington Quarry is a residential district of Oxford, England, located east of Headington and west of Risinghurst, just inside the Oxford ring road in the east of the city. To the south is Wood Farm. Today the district is also known colloquially as "Quarry".〔(Headington Quarry ), Oxford City Council.〕 The area, now residential, is considerably uneven due to previous quarrying in the area. The Church of England parish church of the Holy Trinity〔(Holy Trinity Church, Headington Quarry )〕〔(SP5506: Holy Trinity Church, Headington Quarry ), Geograph〕 was designed by George Gilbert Scott and built in 1848–49.〔Sherwood & Pevsner, 1974, page 337〕 The east window of its chancel was designed by Ninian Comper.〔 The Friends of Holy Trinity Church was founded in 2002 to raise funds and look after the church.〔(About Us ), (Friends of Holy Trinity Church, Headington Quarry ).〕 In 1930, C. S. Lewis, Oxford academic and author of ''The Chronicles of Narnia'', and his brother Warnie moved, with Mrs Janie Moore and her daughter Maureen, into "The Kilns", a house on the outskirts of Headington Quarry.〔(Headington History: The Kilns, Lewis Close, Risinghurst )〕 Lewis attended Holy Trinity Church.〔(Headington History: C.S. Lewis and Headington )〕 He first preached there on 29 March 1942, on the subject of "Religion and pleasure", and he is buried in the churchyard. There is a former Methodist Chapel in Quarry High Street.〔(Headington History: Former Methodist Chapel, Quarry High Street, Headington )〕 The Headington Quarry Morris Dancers are based in the area.〔(The Headington Quarry Morris Dancers )〕 Headington Quarry Morris Dancers were the first Morris dancers ever seen by Cecil Sharp, on Boxing Day 1899.〔(Oxfordshire Blue Plaques: William Kimber )〕 This chance meeting was one of the events that sparked a lifelong interest in folk dance, song and music, to which Sharp devoted much of his life. Headington Quarry was designated a conservation area 〔(More information about the Headington Quarry Conservation Area on city council website )〕 in 1971, and the Friends of Quarry 〔(Friends of Quarry website )〕 is a residents’ association which aims to preserve the distinctive character of the Conservation Area and its immediate neighbourhood. ==Other features== Geographically central to the Quarry, the original school, variously named Headington Quarry National School, Headington Quarry Church of England Junior Mixed School, and Headington Quarry Church of England First School, was closed in 2003 due to a lack of enrolments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Headington Quarry School )〕 The school building was originally built in 1864. The school is now home to the Headington Quarry Foundation Stage School. The school building is conservation listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Headington Quarry Conservation Appraisal )〕 Headington Quarry is noted for its array of narrow, winding roads and alleyways; for the undulating terrain on which houses have been built as a result of the quarrying that took place; and for the significant amount of greenspace in the area. 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「Headington Quarry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
