Nether Poppleton is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated by the West bank of the River Ouse adjacent to Upper Poppleton, and west of York close to the A59 road from York to Harrogate. The village is served by Poppleton railway station on the Harrogate Line. According to the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 2,077. Before 1996, it had been part of the Harrogate district. The name is derived from ''popel'' (pebble) and ''tun'' (hamlet, farm), and means "Pebble Farm", due to the gravel bed upon which the village was built.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Origin of name )〕 The neighbouring village of Upper Poppleton has been referred to as "Land Poppleton" and Nether Poppleton as "Water Poppleton", indicating the villages' position relative to the river. The village is mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'' and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles.〔 It became a Conservation Area in 1993. The earthworks to the north and east of the parish church are designated as a Scheduled Monument().〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scheduled Monument )〕 ==History== In 972, the village was recorded as "Popeltun" in a list made for Archbishop of York Oswald of Church property lost in the wars earlier in the century,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Time Team ) For video on 4OD see http://www.channel4.com/programmes/time-team/4od#2929881〕 and in the ''Domesday Book'' as "Popeltune".〔 The villages and lands were given by Osbern De Arches to the Abbot of St Mary's in York. It was, therefore, under the ecclesiastical rule of the Parish of St Mary-Bishophill Junior. During the reign of Richard II, the village was the scene of the murder of a Mayor of York. In 1644, the 25,000-strong Scottish and Parliament Armies, led by the Earl of Manchester, laid siege to the city of York. To facilitate communications, they built a "Bridge of Boats" at Poppleton. This bridge was eventually taken by Prince Rupert and his Royalist Forces, but he subsequently lost the battle at Marston Moor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil War )〕 The village benefited from the growth in the railways in the 19th century when the York, Knaresborough and Harrogate Railway routed its line through Poppleton and erected a station. 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「Nether Poppleton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
