Nuffield is a village and civil parish in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire, England, just over east of Wallingford. ==History== The ancient Ridgeway path runs through the village. The section of the Ridgeway west of the village follows the ancient Grim's Ditch. The Church of England parish church of the Holy Trinity was originally Norman.〔Sherwood & Pevsner, 1974, page 724.〕 Some masonry from this period survives on the south side of the nave.〔 In the 14th century the church was rebuilt and the north aisle was added.〔 The Gothic Revival architect Benjamin Ferrey restored the chancel in 1845.〔 The road between Henley-on-Thames and Wallingford passes through the parish just north of Nuffield. It was made into a turnpike in 1736 and ceased to be a turnpike in 1873.〔(Turnpike Roads in England ), UK.〕 It is now classified the A4130. Huntercombe Place is an Edwardian Tudor-style house designed by Oswald Milne, a former assistant to the Arts and Crafts Movement architect Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1910.〔 Huntercombe Place is now part of HMYOI Huntercombe. Nuffield Place is a house that was completed in 1914. Lord Nuffield had it enlarged in 1933 and lived there until his death in 1963. He was buried at the parish church, and bequeathed Nuffield Place and its contents to Nuffield College, Oxford as a museum. The college has gifted the house and part of the estate to the National Trust.〔(Nuffield Place website )〕〔National Trust Magazine, Summer 2011, pages 34–38.〕 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「Nuffield, Oxfordshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
