Holdgate (or Stanton Holdgate or Castle Holdgate) is a small village in Shropshire, England. It forms part of the civil parish of Abdon. Its name is taken from its Norman lord Helgot 〔(British History Online ) Holdgate〕 who owned the village in 1086 along with 17 other parishes in Shropshire. The village is laid on top of a small hill which rises to above sea level. Its parish church is Holy Trinity.〔Ordnance Survey mapping〕 There are remnants of the medieval Holdgate Castle. Holdgate was once (in medieval times) a more populous place than today. Holdgate was a civil parish until 1967.〔(British History Online ) Holdgate〕 Bouldon was, until 1884, a detached part of Holdgate parish.〔(British History Online ) Bouldon〕 A mile (1.6 km) to the northeast is the village of Stanton Long. Between the two villages, but within the former Holdgate parish (now in the Abdon parish) is the hamlet of Brookhampton. To the south is Tugford. ==See also== *Deserted medieval village 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「Holdgate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
