__NOTOC__ Milton Lilbourne is a village and civil parish in the county of Wiltshire, England, in the Vale of Pewsey between Pewsey and Burbage. It is largely a mixed residential area centred on the Manor. The nearest town is Marlborough, to the north. The parish includes the following hamlets: * Clench - to the north, near Wootton Rivers * Fyfield with Fyfield Manor - west, near Pewsey (not to be confused with the village of Fyfield near Marlborough) * Little Salisbury - west, on the Pewsey-Burbage road * Littleworth - north, on the other side of the Pewsey-Burbage road * Milkhouse Water, formerly Milcot Water - northwest, by the Avon * New Mill - north, also by the Avon The parish is unusual in that it has a long thin shape and is one of the few to have boundaries on the uplands to both south and north of the Vale. The southern boundary passes by a long barrow and the northern one abuts the prehistoric fort on Martinsell Hill. ==History== The parish contains several prehistoric features including the Giants Grave to the south (a Neolithic long barrow) and a Bronze Age Barrow Cemetery at Milton Hill Farm. "Milton" in the village's name probably derives from its position as "middle tun" between Pewsey and Easton Royal, the "east tun". "Lilbourne" is from Lillebonne, the surname of lords of the manor.〔 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「Milton Lilbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
