Holme is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located on the east of the River Trent, less than half a mile from the riverside and 4 miles north of Newark-on-Trent. The parish church of St Giles is an Early Tudor rebuild of a 13th-century church. The Lancashire wool merchant John Barton was responsible for the rebuilding. He died in 1491, and is buried in the chancel with his wife. In a window of his house at Holme is inscribed the verse: :''I thanke God, and ever shall, :''It is the sheep have paid for all.'' Holme was historically a chapelry in the ancient parish of North Muskham. Until about 1575 it lay on the west side of the River Trent, but there was then a cataclysmic flood which changed the course of the river.〔(Winthorpe Community Website: Langford Church History )〕 Holme was therefore separated by the river from the rest of the parish. In 1866 Holme became a separate civil parish.〔(Vision of Britain website )〕 The last known catch of a Sturgeon on the Trent occurred in 1902 near the village, the fish was eight and a half feet long and weighed 250 pounds. ==References== 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「Holme, Nottinghamshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
