Mettingham is a village near Bungay in NE Suffolk, England, close to the river Waveney which forms the boundary with Norfolk. In the 1870s, Mettingham was described as: : "a village and a parish in Wangford district, Suffolk. The village stands near the river Waveney, at the boundary with Norfolk, 2 miles E of Bungay r. station; is a scattered place; and has a postoffice under Bungay." Its church, All Saints, is one of 43 existing round-tower churches in Suffolk. and about a mile to the south, Mettingham Castle comprises the ruins of a moated medieval fortified manor house, with a medieval chantry college in its grounds. The college was founded in 1394 and was dissolved in 1542 at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. ==Population== The parish population has varied since 1801. There was a significant increase of 139 between 1801 and 1841, after which there was a long period of decline as agriculture became less labour-intensive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10263347/cube/TOT_POP )〕 There has been one minor boundary change since 1801,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10263347/boundary )〕 but it was not significant enough to affect the rise in population. However between 1831 and 1841, 36 houses were built,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10263347/cube/HOUSE_OCCUPANCY )〕 leading to a population increase with more people moving to the area. As of the 2011 census, Mettingham's population is relatively old: out of the total population of 211 only 34 are below the age of 16; 54 are in the age range 35-54; and 85 are over 55;〔 so that many of the residents are above the national average age of 39.7. 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「Mettingham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
