Erbistock ((ウェールズ語:Erbistog)) is a village and a local government community, the lowest tier of local government, part of Wrexham County Borough in Wales. The village lies on the banks of the River Dee. The community area, governed by Erbistock Community Council ((ウェールズ語:Cyngor Cymuned Erbistog)) also includes the small villages of Crabtree Green and Eyton; it had a total population of 409 at the 2001 census,〔(Erbistock Community ), Office for National Statistics〕 falling to 383 at the 2011 Census. ==History== Erbistock was one of the ancient townships of the Lordship of Bromfield, and was mentioned in the Domesday Book. It later became one of the parishes of Denbighshire but a part lay in the detached part of Flintshire known as the Maelor Saesneg, the Denbighshire portion having been attached to the Maelor Gymraeg. The Wrexham historian Alfred Neobard Palmer noted that this division was very old, and resulted from the desire of Edward I of England to strengthen English influence in the border borough of Overton. In April 1300 a writ was issued to Richard de Massey, the justice of Chester, to bargain with "certain Welshmen" holding lands in Overton with the offer of exchanging them with parts of the king's demesne lands in Erbistock.〔Palmer, A. N. ''A History of Ancient Tenures of Land in North Wales and the Marches'', 1910, p.122〕 A parish church dedicated to Saint Erbin was mentioned as far back as the 13th century but the present church, dedicated to Saint Hilary, was constructed in 1860. Palmer suggested that the name derives from "''Erbin's stoke''" meaning ''Erbin's stockaded ford''. The corresponding civil parish of Erbistock absorbed the neighbouring parish of Eyton in 1935.〔(Wrexham Registration District ), GENUKI〕 According to Palmer, Eyton was mentioned as early as 1043, when it was given by Leofric, earl of Mercia, to the minster he had founded at Coventry, and at the time of the Domesday Book survey was held by the bishop of Lichfield.〔Palmer, 139〕 The village and its picturesque surrounding area have been defined as the ''Erbistock Village and Conservation Area'' by Wrexham county borough council. 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「Erbistock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
