Newborough is a village and civil parish in the county of Staffordshire, in the country of England and is located south west of Hanbury and west of Burton-upon-Trent. Newborough has a pub, a school and a church. At the 2011 UK census, the population stood at 476, comprising 240 males and 236 females.〔 ==The Village== The local church is dedicated to All Saints. The current building was consecrated in 1901, after being built by the architect John Oldrid Scott.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://glasgowsculpture.com/pg_biography.php?sub=scott_jo )〕 Originally built on the site of a pub, it was built using stone from Hollington, Pateley Bridge and Harrogate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-412000-324000/page/4 )〕 The Church is a Grade 2 Listed Building, after being listed on 12 January 1966, and given its English Heritage Building ID of 273885.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-273885-church-of-all-saints-newborough )〕 The village originally had three public houses in the village: The White Hart, The Buffalo and The Red Lion, although it had many more alehouses. The Red Lion continues its trade to this day, but the present day All Saints church stands on the site of the White Hart. The Buffalo is now a residential home of the same name, and houses now stand on the old car park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visitoruk.com/historydetail.php?id=28538&f=Burton-upon-trent )〕 There is also The Bakehouse B&B, which has recently come under new ownership. A coffee shop now lies within the old lounge of the living quarters, and the B&B continues to run successfully. Two holiday cottages, known as "The Poplars" and "The Piano Barn" are also in the village at the site of the Piano Workshop, at Poplars Farm. Each year, the village holds a Well Dressing event on the May Bank Holiday. The tradition in the village only dates back to 1978, but the ancient tradition is thought to have originated in Pagan times. The wells in the village are decorated, and as described on the villages's website, each year the residents use "wooden boards () are filled with soft, wet clay on which a design is picked out and then coloured using petals and other natural materials such as leaves, cones and bark".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newboroughvillage.co.uk/well.html Newborough Village )〕 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「Newborough, Staffordshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
