Ightenhill is a civil parish in the Borough of Burnley in Lancashire, England, with a population of 1,975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Key Figures for 2011 Census: Key Statistics )〕 It is also considered to be a district of the town of Burnley, with boundaries that do not follow those of the parish. The district is composed principally of a large 1990s housing estate. It is bounded to the north and east by the River Calder, to the south by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the M65 motorway, and to the west by Padiham Road. It is in the Whittlefield with Ightenhill ward of Burnley borough. == History == The name is historically recorded as ''Hightenhull'' (1238), ''Ightenhill'' (1242), ''Hucnhull'' (1258) and ''Ichtenhill'' (1296 and 1305) and is derived from a local hill.〔 The site of Ightenhill Manor House () is about a quarter of a mile to the east of Gawthorpe Hall in a meadow on the brow of a hill, from which there is a good view of the whole of Pendle Forest. No part of the walls is standing, but in 1894 the foundations of the keep could easily be traced. The location of the manor is on the 1948 Ordnance Survey map shown here.〔(British History online, accessed 3 February 2011 )〕 The ancient township of Ightenhill Park was named for the area’s former status as a deer park, connected to the Forest of Pendle. In 1866 the township became a civil parish. The present parish was created in 1894, mainly from the former, but with the small part of Habergham Eaves lying north of A671 Padiham Road, added to it. In 1926 a small part of the south-west of the parish was transferred into Burnley, with a footpath next to Bullions Close farm, marking the new boundary. In 1974, with the creation of the Borough of Burnley, the former parish of North Town historically associated with Padiham, was dissolved and the part south of the A6068 Padiham Bypass, including Gawthorpe Hall was added to Ightenhill. 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「Ightenhill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
