North Thoresby is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated between Louth and Grimsby, approximately from each, and has a village population of 1,068 (2011)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.citypopulation.de/php/uk-england-eastmidlands.php?cityid=E34002253 )〕 with 50.5% of the population being over 60.〔http://www.lincs.police.uk/Contact-Us/Neighbourhood-Policing-Teams/Louth-Rural/Louth-Rural-Neighbourhood-Profile.pdf〕 The area is chiefly agricultural but the majority of employed residents work in Grimsby and Cleethorpes or in the industries situated on the Humber bank. The name North Thoresby is composed of the given name Thor and the suffix 'by', as with other villages in the area – indicating the influence of the Vikings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/viking_place_names.htm )〕 South Thoresby also in Lincolnshire, is to be found to the south of Louth, whilst Thoresby Hall is not located in the area, but in Nottinghamshire some to the west. ==History== Evidence was found, just outside the village, that grapes were grown in the area by the Romans〔(BBC History of British Gardening: Roman )〕 but the claim has been contested.〔Skelton, Stephen (2008); (''UK Vineyards Guide Skelton'' ); SP Skelton p3. ISBN 0951470337. Retrieved 12 May 2012〕 The Village lies on a Roman road from Cadeby to North Coates, believed to have been a route of salt transportation from the coast to Lincoln.〔 North Thoresby is listed in the same ''Domesday'' entry as Autby,〔 and in 1416 it was combined into Thoresby-cum-Autby parish, following the desertion of Autby and the loss of the village church.〔 The Anglican parish church, St Helen's,〔(St Helen's Church )〕 occupies a site where Christian worship has continued for more than 1,000 years. Like most churches of its age it has seen many alterations from an original simple room to a 15th-century edifice with north and south aisles. The south aisle was demolished in Elizabethan times but remains of it survive inside the church. The church includes part of a Saxon grave cover, Tudor bench-ends and Restoration plaques which record the work tradesman such as "putty makers". There is also a memorial tablet to Francis Bond (1852-1918), the late 19th-century authority on Gothic architecture, who was born in the village.〔 Historically the parish was within Haverstoe, the south division of the Bradley-Haverstoe wapentake, in the North Riding of Lindsey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF2998/north-thoresby/ )〕 North Thoresby was enclosed in 1839, its Tithe barn still stands having been converted into a private dwelling standing to the east of the rectory.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-195351-church-of-st-helen-north-thoresby-lincol )〕 Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists each had a chapel here prior to 1900. The Methodist chapel, school and school house, were built in the mid-19th century.〔("North Thoresby" ); Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham Circuit〕 In 1985 the school and house were converted into a community centre, The Wesley Centre, when the primary school relocated to a new building on High Street. During the Second World War, on 4 October 1943, an RAF Avro Lancaster ED583 crashed in the village during a test flight from RAF Waltham, killing the crew. A memorial was dedicated to them on 4 September 2005. 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 Thoresby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
