Limpley Stoke is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It is in the Avon valley, between Bath and Freshford and is both above and below the A36 road. The civil parish includes the hamlet of Waterhouse and the outskirts of the Somerset village of Midford. ==History== The 18th-century country house at Waterhouse is a Grade II listed building. In 1885 Messrs E G Browne and J C Margetson acquired a cloth mill, known as Avon Mill, on the banks of the River Avon at Limpley Stoke. The previous owners of the mill had originally been timber merchants, but had later diversified into the production of rubber goods. By 1890 the business had transferred to premises in Melksham and later became Avon Rubber. The village has two public houses, one of which, The Hop Pole, which dates from the 17th century, was used in the filming of ''The Remains of the Day'' with Anthony Hopkins. A landmark water tower, actually located close by in Friary Wood,〔http://www.prattfamily.demon.co.uk/mikep/phot14.html〕 is referred to as the Limpley Stoke Water Tower. 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「Limpley Stoke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
