Myddle—also formerly known as Mydle, Middle, , M'dle, Meadley and Medle—is a small village in Shropshire, England, about 10 miles north of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire. Myddle lies in the parish of Myddle with Broughton-le-Strange. The 2001 census recorded a population of 1,142 in the village, rising to 1,333 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil Parish population 2011 )〕 In a book written about Myddle in 1700, the author, Richard Gough, describes the parish community and its doings, and his work has been used as a study of human relations. The book has been called "the greatest insight into that group (is, 'the middle sort' ) of people,"〔French, H.R. ''Social Status, Localism, and the 'Middle Sort of People' in England 1620–1750''〕 in Early Modern England. ==History== The village of Myddle was occupied by 1066, with a manor house for Siward, Earl of Northumbria completed in the 1050s.〔(The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle – CHAPTER XII )〕 By 1086, the year of the Domesday Book under William the Conqueror, the manor house was occupied by Rainald the Sheriff. During the 12th century, the Fitz Alan family of Clun occupied the manor house, with John Le Strange acquiring it around 1165. In 1234, Myddle was the location of the signing of a treaty between King Henry III and Welsh Prince Llewellyn. In September 2005 and September 2007 a detectorist uncovered a small number of hammered gold coins dating back to the 14th century.〔(More gold coins from the Myddle Hoard, Shropshire | Treasure Hunting )〕 The Le Strange's dynasty ended in 1580 due to the lack of male heirs to the estate, and Myddle passed to the Earl of Derby after he married Joan Le Strange. Their son, Thomas, became the second Earl of Derby. Elizabeth I granted Thomas Barnston a licence to sell land in Myddle in 1596, and in 1600 Sir Thomas Egerton purchased the village. Egerton's son was created by James I the first Earl of Bridgewater in 1579. During the English Civil War in 1642, Charles I recruited 20 men from Myddle, with 14 killed.〔(Myddle, Shropshire, England – History )〕 Myddle suffered an earthquake in 1688, but continued to expand throughout the coming centuries, with butchers' shops, taverns, fishmongers and masons inhabiting the village by about 1850. In 1901 the village was graced by a visit of The All American Trumpeters who put on a free show to raise funds for a memorial to Queen Victoria. The manor house was destroyed and sold to pay the death duties of the third Earl Brownlow in 1924. In 1942, during the Second World War, an RAF Whitley bomber crashed in Myddle after taking off from nearby Sleap Airfield. 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「Myddle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
