North Petherwin ((コーンウォール語:Paderwynn Gledh)) is a civil parish and village in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated five miles (8 km) northwest of Launceston on a ridge above the River Ottery valley.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 190 ''Bude & Clovelly'' ISBN 978-0-319-23145-6〕 North Petherwin is a rural parish which has transferred between Devon and Cornwall in the past, most recently in 1966. Historically, the Dukes of Bedford have been major land owners in the parish. As well as the church town, settlements include Hellescott, Brazacott, and Maxworthy. The hamlets of Petherwin Gate and Daws are close to the village.〔Ordnance Survey ''One-inch Map of England & Wales; Bodmin and Launceston, sheet186''. 1946〕 The Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre is North Petherwin's main tourist attraction. As well as having European and Asian Short Clawed otters it has a duck pond, a nature trail where owls can be seen, a restaurant area and a gift shop.〔(Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre website ); accessed April 2010〕 ==Parish church and school== The parish church is dedicated to St Paternus (see also South Petherwin) and is unusually grand for a small village church. It was described in ''White's Devonshire Directory'' of 1850 as: ''... an ancient structure, with a tower and five bells... (containing)... memorials of the Yeo and other families.''〔(GENUKI website; North Petherwin ); retrieved April 2010〕 The north aisle is Norman and the south Perpendicular and many of the windows, including those of the clerestory, are 13th century in style. There is some old woodwork including a communion rail dated 1685. The village has a school, North Petherwin Primary School,〔(North Petherwin school website ). Retrieved April 2010〕 dating back to 1878. The school is coeducational and has been expanded in recent years. 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「North Petherwin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
