__NOTOC__ Milston is a civil parish in Wiltshire situated approximately 12 miles north of Salisbury and is separated from neighbouring Durrington by the River Avon. The name is derived from the Old English ''midlest tūn'', meaning "middlemost farm/settlement". It consists of two hamlets: Milston and Brigmerston, plus some farm buildings on Salisbury Plain. The population in 2011 was 130 – the same as in 1861.〔 Milston Down Wood has earthworks including bowl barrows. The Nine Mile River rises on Brigmerston down and is joined by the Damson Brook. ==Buildings== Milston hamlet contains a small Grade II * listed church dedicated to St Mary, erected in the 13th and 14th centuries and restored in 1806 and 1906. The single bell in the bellcote dates from about 1209 and the font is probably from the 13th century. It is one of seven Church of England parishes covered by the Avon River Team ministry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.avonriverteam.org.uk/allaboutstmarysmilston.htm )〕 The Old Manor House at Milston, 1613, is Grade II * listed. 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「Milston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
