Hilton is a village and civil parish in the South Derbyshire district of Derbyshire, England. ==History== Hilton was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 as belonging to Henry de Ferrers〔Henry was given a large number of manors in Derbyshire including Doveridge, Linton, Pilsbury and Cowley.〕 and being worth ten shillings.〔''Domesday Book: A Complete Translation''. London: Penguin, 2003. ISBN 0-14-143994-7 p.747〕 Although ancient, it has undergone a great deal of development. The new estate was created on the site of the former MoD depot by St. Modwen Properties; 1993 - Development agreement granted over MOD site. 2000 - Acquisition of MoD's remaining freehold interest. 2004 - Acquisition of water authorities former sewage works. Many well known house builders have contributed to the development including Redrow (which also included one of their Debut By Redrow developments aimed at first time buyers and people starting over), McLean, Persimmon, Bryant and Wimpy. In 2006 St Modwen built a warehouse for Daher on their industrial estate but this was destroyed by fire in early 2007. This has since been rebuilt. Hilton also has a small retail site which is home to Tesco Express, The Hilton Fish Bar, Hilton Brook pub. This was recently extended with the addition of three new units, occupied by Jhoots Pharmacy and two locally owned businesses; a Chinese takeaway and an estate agent. (The Chinese Takeaway replaces the coffee bar) Two old village pubs: The Old Talbot & The Kings Head plus the Hilton House Hotel are three of the villages original watering holes all on Main Street Hilton. Hilton House Hotel is a Georgian built family home formerly in the grounds of Wakelyn Hall but converted into a hotel in the 1960s and currently run by proprietors Colin & Zoe Clark. The hotel is licensed for civil weddings and has a sizeable function room, 10 bedrooms and public bar. Generally the buildings are new, exceptions include the Old Talbot Inn, the Wesleyan Chapel and Wakelyn Hall and others around main street. Mary, Queen of Scots allegedly stopped here briefly on her way to imprisonment at Tutbury Castle.〔(Hilton ), picturethepast.org.uk〕 Hilton has expanded into a large commuter village populated by people working for Toyota, Rolls-Royce or commuting to Derby, Nottingham or the West Midlands. The current school is being expanded and other local services are struggling to cope with the increased population. 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「Hilton, Derbyshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
