Maperton is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated south west of Wincanton in the South Somerset district. The village has a population of 140. However, this small number includes Elliscombe House care home which alone has an average of 40 residents. ==History== The name of the village means ''maple settlement'' and is pronounced ''Mayperton''. This pronunciation is particularly used by newer residents but many older residents use the alternative pronunciation "map-er-ton". In the Domesday Book of 1086 the manor is recorded as held by Turstin FitzRolf.〔http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk〕 The manor was held by Francis Hastings of North Cadbury around 1600.〔 The parish was part of the hundred of Catsash.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕 Earthworks show the site of a village, with a village pond, and ridge and furrow agriculture from the Middle Ages south of Wyke Champflower. Maperton House was built in the 19th century, but incorporates some 18th-century fragments from a previous manor house which stood on the same site. (Not to be confused with ''Mapperton'' House, seat of the Earls of Sandwich, near Beaminster in Dorset.) 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「Maperton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
