Hevingham is a village and civil parish in the Broadland district of the English county of Norfolk. Situated between the A140 road Norwich to Cromer road and the B1149 road Norwich to Holt road. It is north from the city of Norwich and south from the market town of Aylsham. Hevingham parish covers a wide area—. The village has grown slightly since the 1891 census (which showed a population of 760) to its current level of 1,150 in 452 households as shown in 2001 census.〔Office for National Statistics & Norfolk County Council, 2001. ''(Census population and household counts for unparished urban areas and all parishes )'' Retrieved December 2, 2005.〕 ==History== The village name has Old English origins and is translated as ‘''homestead of the people of Hefa''’.〔Norfolk Heritage Explorer - Parish Summary: Hevingham, http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?uid=%27TNF256%27〕 The village is documented in the Domesday Book where it is recorded as ''Heuincham''〔Williams, Dr Anne and G.H Martin, Eds., ''Domesday Book: A Complete Translation''. London: Penguin 1993 (print)〕 "where one freeman, a priest, is recorded as holding 40 acres in alms for the King". The village of Rippon or Ripton is noted within Hevingham but this village was deserted during the medieval period. Its exact location is unknown.〔Norfolk Heritage Explorer - Parish Summary: Hevingham, http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?uid=%27TNF256%27〕 ‘''William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1845''’ described Hevingham thus: Archaeological evidence shows that the site of the village has been occupied since the bronze age. But there are much earlier signs of activity, a Mesolithic flint axe-head being the earliest archaeological find recorded, with several neolithic flint axe-heads also being recovered. There is evidence of Roman activity. A Roman iron-working site was found during ploughing and was subsequently excavated. Archaeologists also investigated pottery kilns in the parish in the 1950s. Five kilns were recorded. These produced cooking vessels and other pottery during the 2nd century. The names of two potters who worked at the site – ‘''INGENU''’ and ‘''ESAMI''’ are recorded on the stamps they used on their pottery. There also extensive finds recorded from throughout the Saxon period.〔Norfolk Heritage Explorer - Parish Summary: Hevingham, http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?uid=%27TNF256%27〕 With its red brick 16th century manor house, Park Farm is the former site of a moated bishops' palace. ((map )) Built in 1250 by Walter de Suffield, Bishop of Norwich and used by subsequent bishops until the ownership of the land was passed to the Crown by Bishop Nix in 1531.〔William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1883 - http://www.origins.org.uk/genuki/NFK/places/h/hevingham/white1883.shtml〕 Earthworks of the moat can still be seen and many artefacts have been found on the site by the current landowner.〔Norfolk Heritage Explorer, Park Farm House and barn - http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?MNF48252-Park-Farm-House-and-barn&Index=2&RecordCount=1&SessionID=798f0490-a9b1-499b-a7a5-68a328912ebb〕 Adjacent Hevingham Park, a medieval wood may have been a deer park connected to the palace. There is also a massive bank and ditch marking the parish boundary.〔Norfolk Heritage Explorer, Hevingham Park - http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?mnf43480〕 There are records of a post medieval windmill or Smock mill〔Norfolk Heritage Explorer, Site of a post medieval smock mill - http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?mnf15929〕 which stood in the North east part of the village, ((map )) to the west of the Cromer road and was sold at auction 'to be dismantled' in 1869.〔Norfolk Mills Archive- http://www.norfolkmills.co.uk/Windmills/hevingham-smockmill.html〕 Other notable historic buildings include - Pound Farm House, built in 1675 on The Street/Halls Corner, The Free School (Old School House) built by John Hall in 1726 on the Cromer Road, Avenue Farm House - built in 1835 and (Hevingham Primary School ), built in 1875 with a capacity of 100 students (currently 98 enrolled). The site of a camping ground, or recreation field, where ‘Camping’ a forerunner to modern day Association football was played may be recorded in the modern names of ''Camping Beck'' ((map )) and ''Camping Bridge''.〔Norfolk Heritage Explorer - Parish Summary: Hevingham, http://www.heritage.norfolk.gov.uk/record-details?uid=%27TNF256%27〕 There is a complete World War Two pillbox located in the south-western corner of Buxton Heath, itself a site of special scientific interest. 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「Hevingham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
