Luddenham is a widespread hamlet or small village north-west of Faversham in Kent, England, with many long distance views across The Swale and the Isle of Sheppey. It is on the edge of Luddenham Marshes and is also home of Luddenham School.〔http://www.luddenham.kent.sch.uk/〕 Oare Gunpowder Works are on the edge of the village.〔http://www.gunpowderworks.co.uk〕 It had, according to Edward Hasted in 1798, 396 acres of low flat arable land and 200 acres of meadow and pasture. But half of those are marsh lands. It was once called ''Cildresham'', at the time of the Domesday survey.〔 The Manor of Cildresham belonged to Odo, Earl of Kent, (as the Bishop of Bayeux) and was noted so in the ''Domesday Book''. After Odo's trial for fraud, the manor then passed to the Fulbert de Dover (of Chilham) who helped the King defend Dover Castle.〔 Then William de Luddenham became owner the Manor of Luddenham in 1212 and during the reign of Henry III, it passed to Sir Roger de Northwood.〔 It has the Grade I listed Church of St Mary,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Church of St Mary, Luddenham )〕 beside the Grade II listed Luddenham Court (built in the 15th century).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Luddenham Court, Luddenham )〕 Also within the scattered hamlet, is the Nash estate.〔 Which still survives as the grade II listed Nash's Farmhouse.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nash's Farmhouse, Luddenham )〕 It used to have one of the most remote pubs in the area, The Mounted Rifleman, which closed in the early 1990s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Mounted Rifleman )〕 ==See also== *St Mary's Church, Luddenham *''Hyde v Wrench'' (1840) 3 Beav 334, an English contract law case, about the sale of a Luddenham farm. 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「Luddenham, Kent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
