Hough-on-the-Hill is a village and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately due north from the market town of Grantham. The hamlets of Gelston and Brandon are part of the parish. Hough-on-the-Hill is on a significant rise, hence the name. ==History== The name Hough is Old English "haga", or 'enclosure'.〔Mills, Anthony David (2003); ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', Oxford University Press, revised edition (2011), p. 248. ISBN 019960908X〕 The village is listed in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 as "Hag" and "Hache", comprising 45 households, four mills and a church. It is not clear when the 'le Hill' or 'on the Hill' suffix was added. An extensive Anglo-Saxon cemetery including both burials and cremations has been excavated on Lovedon Hill. There was also a Medieval Motte-and-bailey castle situated on a natural mound, known as Castle Hill, on which the church of All Saints was later built. It is an ancient scheduled monument. Hough Priory was located here, dependent on the Augustinian Abbey of Notre Dame du Voeu Cherburg; it was founded about 1164 and dissolved in about 1414. In 1432 it was granted to the Carthusian order of Mountgrace. There are no remains. 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「Hough-on-the-Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
