Heaton Norris is a suburban area of Stockport, in Greater Manchester, England. It is a constituent part of the Four Heatons, and thus neighbours Heaton Chapel, Heaton Mersey and Heaton Moor. Formerly Heaton Norris was a parish of Lancashire, which spanned the whole of the Four Heatons. In 1835 part of the parish of Heaton Norris was annexed to neighbouring Stockport in Cheshire; Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor remained in Lancashire, but further territory was ceded in 1894 and the remnant in 1913. == History == Historically part of Lancashire, Heaton Norris was part of the Manchester barony of the Grelley family, but between 1162 and 1180 it belonged to William le Norreys.〔( Heaton Moor Conservation Area Appraisal )〕 In the early 13th century, Heaton Norris was a sub manor of Manchester, it encompassed all of the Four Heatons. It was escheated (i.e. reverted) to the manor of Manchester around 1280. In 1322, there were 32 dwellings suggesting a population of 150, the ten freeholders of the escheated manor had the right to graze on common pasture and to cut wood.〔Medieval and early modern Manchester, G.H.Tupling in Manchester and its region, pub The British Association and Manchester University Press 1962〕 There was no chapel of ease, unlike neighbouring St Ostwalds at Didsbury, and didn't get one till St Thomas' was built in 1758. The township remained part of the parish of Manchester in the Salford Hundred of Lancashire〔(Heaton Norris Tn/Ch/CP Lancashire through time | Administrative history of Parish-level Unit: hierarchies, boundaries )〕 until 1835 when the southern portion of the parish was absorbed into Stockport.〔 In 1894, under the Local Government Act 1894, it was divided again, with a portion becoming part of Stockport county borough in Cheshire, and the remaining part forming the Heaton Norris urban district in Lancashire. A further transferred in 1901,〔Victoria County Histories〕 and the remainder, Heaton Moor and Heaton Chapel, was added to Stockport county borough in 1913. There was a plebiscite in the 1930 on whether the area wished to become part of Manchester again, but the vote was lost. In 1901, the population was recorded as 26,251. Since 1974 it has formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester. Weaving was first recorded in 1580 and by 1776 farms were being advertised as having cowsheds and large loom houses.〔 In spite of the industrial developments nearby in Stockport and Manchester, most of Heaton Norris remained agricultural, though in 1836 there were 20 mills employing upwards of 5,000.〔(Heaton Norris in 1841 from Butterworth )〕 The rural nature changed with the arrival of the railway station at Heaton Norris in 1840 and Heaton Chapel in 1852, when the area became largely residential. The majority of Heaton Norris has terraced or semi-detached housing, though areas close to the border with Heaton Moor contain more prestigious and expensive housing. 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「Heaton Norris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
