Muston is a village and civil parish, in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is situated south-west from the centre of the coastal town of Filey, and on the A1039 road. ==History== According to the ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'' 'Muston' is derived from either the 12th-century "mouse infected farmstead", or a "farmstead of a man called Musi", being an Old Norse person name with the Old English 'tun' (farmstead or enclosure).〔Mills, Anthony David (2003); ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', Oxford University Press, revised edition (2011), p. 338. ISBN 019960908X〕 Muston is listed in the ''Domesday Book'' as "Mustone", in the Torbar Hundred of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The settlement included seven households, twenty-one villagers, six smallholders, and ten ploughlands. In 1066 Karli son of Karli held the Lordship, this transferring in 1086 to Gilbert of Ghent who also became Tenant-in-chief to King William I.〔("Muston" ), ''Open Domesday'', University of Hull. Retrieved 10 December 2014〕 In 1823 Muston was a village and civil parish in the Wapentake of Dickering in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The ecclesiastical parish was a Vicarage held by the Archdeacon of Cleveland, Francis Wrangham. Population at the time was 350. Occupations included fourteen farmers, two butchers, two carpenters, three grocers, a tanner, a bricklayer, a corn miller, a shoemaker, an earthenware dealer, a tailor, a blacksmith, and the landlady of The Cross Keys public house. A daily coach linked Muston to Hull and Scarborough. A carrier operated between the village and Bridlington, Hunmanby and Filey twice weekly.〔Baines, Edward (1823): ''History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York'', p. 370〕 The 1863 parish church of All Saints' was designated a Grade II listed building in 1966. There is a derelict windmill on the outskirts of the village, just off the A1039 road. References to a mill first appear in 1341. The current mill is thought to have been built in 1826 and was in use until 1932.〔 〕 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「Muston, North Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
