Hopesay is a small village, and civil parish, in south Shropshire, England. The population of the Civil Parish was at the 2011 census was 561.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community population 2011 )〕 The name 'Hopesay' derives from "Hope de Say", the valley of Picot de Say, a Norman baron who held the manor of neighbouring Sibdon Carwood and whose power base was the nearby Clun Castle. Though most of the Norman influence has been lost, the church tower does date back to Norman times. The 13th-century church of St Mary, restored c.1880, is a grade I listed building. 〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title= Church of St Mary, Hopesay ) 〕 The village has an active community though in recent decades has suffered from depopulation, leading to the closure of both the village shop and Post office, and the school (closed in 1989). Within the parish lies the larger village of Aston on Clun, and the village of Broome which has a railway station on the Heart of Wales Line. The writer and adventurer Vivienne de Watteville (Vivienne Goschen) is buried at Hopesay.〔Perrin, Jim, ''Shipton and Tilman'' (London, 2013), p.115〕 ==See also== *St Mary's Church, Hopesay 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「Hopesay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
