Manton is a village and civil parish in the North Lincolnshire district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated just south from the town of Scunthorpe, and about south-west from the town of Brigg. The parish includes the hamlet of Cleatham. Cleatham was a civil parish between 1866 and 1936. The parish church is a Grade II listed building dedicated to Saint Hybald. It was built of limestone in 1861 by J. M. Hooker, and Wheeler of Tunbridge Wells. The church was made redundant by the Diocese of Lincoln in 1998, and it was sold for residential use in 2003. Cleatham Hall is a Grade II listed house dating from 1855 but with earlier origins. Cleatham bowl barrow is a Bronze Age scheduled monument located about to the east of Cleatham Hall. The last known player of the Lincolnshire bagpipes, John Hunsley, lived in Manton in the mid-1800s.〔A commentator the 1881 Oxford Journals' ''(Notes and queries )'', pp.95-96, noted that Hunsley played the pipes until shortly before his death, which occurred "between twenty and thirty years ago."〕 ==References== 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「Manton, North Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
