Holybourne is a village in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is 1.3 miles (2.2 km) northeast of the centre of Alton, is contiguous with it and shares the benefit of its A31 road bypass. Alton railway station is 1.3 miles (2.2 km) southwest of the village. The village has a population of around 1,500, and is also where Treloar College for physically handicapped secondary school pupils has one of its sites. Holybourne has a pub - ''The White Hart'' - and a small store. ==History== Holybourne is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Haliborne'', & appears in 1418 as ''Halybourn''〔(Plea Rolls of the court of Common Pleas; National Archives; CP 40/557 ) second entry. Defendant John Pouke lived there〕 The name is thought to be derived from the Old English ''Haligburna'' which means ''sacred stream'', referring to the small stream whose spring is near Holybourne Church whence it runs through the village. English author Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865) bought a house in ''Holybourne'' in 1865. She died suddenly when visiting the house on 12 November 1865. 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「Holybourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
