Norbury (/norð burh/) is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It lies to the west of the Long Mynd and the nearest town is Bishop's Castle. The parish is made up of three townships Asterton, Whitcott and Hardwick. There is a parish church dedicated to All Saints and a Country House B&B called The Coach House. ==History== Norbury is a chapelry of Lydbury North Ancient Parish in Shropshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://maps.familysearch.org/ )〕 The name Norbury can be interpreted in Anglo-Saxon to mean 'North fortification',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Shropshire/Norbury )〕 this is due to the hill fort defenses that are situated nearby and the fact that Norbury is tucked away in the bucolic Onny Valley. Over time the boundaries of the parish have not changed, however the parish is separated into two halves due to the boundaries of Wentnor parish. Norbury parish is made up of three townships, Asterton, Whitcott and Hardwick. There are two identified types of non-Church of England denominations in Norbury Primitive Methodist and Wesleyan Methodist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://maps.familysearch.org/ )〕 In 1870 Asterton was described as: "a township in Norbury parish, Salop; on Long Mynd hills, 4½ miles SW of Church-Stretton. Pop., 164." Asterton is commonly known for farming hence the name Asterton meaning 'Eastern home farm'. There is a Primitive Methodist church which was built in 1839. Church records show that in 1851 55 people attended the service. Today, the primitive Methodist church is derelict and is believed to have closed in the late 1950s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.users.waitrose.com/~coxfamily/asterton.htm )〕 Whitcott is now known as Whitcott Keysett, it is a small hamlet situated near the small town Clun. Whitcott was described as: "a township in the parish of Norbury, county Salop, 3 miles N.E. of Bishop's Castle. It is joined with Hardwick."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SAL/Norbury/index.html )〕 Hardwick is the third township of Norbury parish. Hardwick was described as "a township in the parish of Norbury, county Salop, 3 miles N.E. of Bishop's Castle. It is situated on the Onny, and is joined to Whitcott to form a township".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SAL/Norbury/index.html )〕 Records for Norbury parish date back to 1560.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://maps.familysearch.org/ )〕 In 1961 Mr George Foxall started to produce map records containing the field names and land usage in Norbury parish. These records are based on historical records and maps drawn up in 1846 and all records are held in the Shropshire Archives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.search.secretshropshire.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?txtKeywords=norbury&lstContext=1&lstResourceType=-1&lstExhibitionType=-1&chkPurchaseVisible=&txtDateFrom=&txtDateTo=&originator=%2Fengine%2Fsearch%2Fdefault_hndlr%2Easp&page=&records=&direction=&pointer=9893&text=0&resource=5101 )〕 These maps indicate what the land in Norbury parish was used for and who owned it. Until 1894 Norbury was a dependent chapelry of Lydbury North. Records from 1521 indicate that the church was dedicated to St Ethelbert.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-256876-church-of-all-saints-norbury- )〕 The original church was built c 1200 and was rebuilt in 1723.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.shropshirehistory.org.uk/html/search/verb/GetRecord/resource:20081127081008 )〕 The parish church of All Saints was predominantly built in the late 19th century. In 1880-1892 the nave, chancel and spire were built by Henry Curzon. The church's west tower dates from the 14th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.search.secretshropshire.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?theme=&originator=%2Fengine%2Ftheme%2Fdefault.asp&page=5&records=9610&direction=2&pointer=9912&text=1&resource=15820 )〕 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「Norbury, Shropshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
