Idlicote is a small settlement and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire, about north-east of Shipston-on-Stour and south-east of Stratford-on-Avon. The best known feature is Idlicote House, a grade II listed country house, on a site once owned by St Mary's Abbey, Kenilworth. The most notable building is the parish church of Saint James the Great, which has surviving features from the 13th and 14th centuries and a 17th-century chapel added to house tombs of members of the Underhill family of Idlicote.〔(Church of Saint James the Great, Idlicote ), at britishlistedbuildings.co.uk, accessed 3 January 2014〕 Apart from these two, there are several other listed buildings, including Badger's Cottage and Badger's Farm, the Old Rectory, the Whitehouse and Nineveh farmhouses, and the dovecote at Idlicote House.〔(Idlicote page ) at britishlistedbuildings.co.uk, accessed 3 January 2014〕 The parish is considered too small for a parish council and instead has a parish meeting. It also forms part of the Brailes ward of the District of Stratford-on-Avon.〔(Idlicote Parish Meeting ) at democracy.stratford.gov.uk, accessed 3 January 2014〕 In 1868 ''The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland'' said of Idlicote ==Notable people== *Fulke Underhill (1578–1598), of Idlicote House *Sir Hercules Underhill (1581–1650), of Idlicote House *Felix Ladbroke (1771–1840), a banker and cricketer, was born here. *Geoffrey Howe, Lord Howe, Conservative politician, Chancellor, Foreign Secretary, Peer *Elspeth Howe, Baroness Howe of Idlicote, life peer, the Old Rectory, Idlicote, widow of Geoffrey 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「Idlicote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
