Letcombe Regis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Letcombe Regis
Letcombe Regis is a village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred the Vale of White Horse to Oxfordshire. The village is on Letcombe Brook at the foot of the Berkshire Downs escarpment about southwest of the market town of Wantage. ==History== The parish includes Segsbury Camp an Iron Age hill fort on the crest of the Downs just over south of the village. The Domesday Book of 1086 records Letcombe Regis. The name may come from the Old English ''Ledecumbe'' meaning the "lede in the combe" – ''i.e.'' "the brook in the valley." "Regis" may derive from the Latin 'rex' meaning 'Royal' with 'Regis' meaning The King's, giving, perhaps, "The Kings brook in the valley."
