Wimpole is a village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, England, about southwest of Cambridge. It is sometimes sub-divided into "Old Wimpole" and "New Wimpole". Notable people from Wimpole include the Independent minister John Conder. It is the site of the country house of Wimpole Hall (and its accompanying Wimpole's Folly). ==History== The village of Wimpole grew up just to the east of Ermine Street, in an area now occupied by the parkland of Wimpole Hall, and the southern boundary of the village is formed by the Roman road that linked Ermine Street to Cambridge. A Roman settlement has been found in the parish on the site of the south-west lodge near Arrington Bridge. Listed as ''Winepole'' in the Domesday Book, the parish formerly contained two other small settlements, Wratworth and Whitwell, but both had been absorbed into the single parish by the end of the 13th century, though the manor of Wratworth survived until the 17th century.〔 The name "Wimpole" comes from "pool of a man named Wina". The pool in question is that found in Wimpole Park. The modern parish is 2468 acres in extent. 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「Wimpole」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
