Minton is a hamlet in Shropshire, England. It is located in the parish of Church Stretton,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Church Stretton Town Council )〕 2½ miles southwest of the market town of Church Stretton. A historic settlement, it is situated on a foothill of the Long Mynd at around 240m above sea level. As of 2010, there are around 12 dwellings in the hamlet. Three lanes lead out from the hamlet: one to the A49 road, one mile southeast at Marshbrook; another lane leads to the hamlet of Hamperley, which is also in Church Stretton parish; and Little Stretton is one mile to the northeast. ==History and features== The place name is from Old English and means "the settlement on the hill". The hamlet has largely retained its Anglo-Saxon layout, with a patchwork of plots and haphazard narrow lanes. There are remains of a motte, which dates from either Anglo-Saxon or Norman times. It was a township and Royal manor,〔(British History Online ) Church Stretton〕 held by King Edward prior to the Norman conquest. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book.〔Raven, Michael, 2005, ''A Guide to Shropshire'' (third edition), page 133〕 Today the hamlet consists of farms and cottages and is agricultural in character. It is designated a conservation area〔(Shropshire Council ) Minton Conservation Area: map〕 and there are 5 Listed buildings in the hamlet – Long Mynd House, Ivanhoe, Manor Farmhouse, Well Cottage, and Minton House.〔(British Listed Buildings ) Church Stretton parish: map〕 There is an outdoors activity centre located on the lane between Minton and Hamperley, the ''Longmynd Adventure Camp'', with overnight accommodation and camping ground.〔(Longmynd Adventure Camp )〕 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「Minton, Shropshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
