Otterhampton is a village and civil parish in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, England, between Bridgwater and the Steart Peninsula. The civil parish includes the larger village of Combwich and the small village of Steart. ==History== It was recorded in the Domesday book as Utramestone meaning 'The outermost enclosure' from the Old English ''ultramest'' and tun. An alternative derivation is from the Saxon, meaning "place of Ottrane" the original Saxon thane. Otterhampton was part of the hundred of Cannington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18546 )〕 The Steart peninsula has flooded many times during the last millennium. The most severe recent floods occurred in 1981. By 1997, a combination of coastal erosion, sea level rise and wave action had made some of the defences distinctly fragile and at risk from failure. As a result, in 2002 the Environment Agency produced the Stolford to Combwich Coastal Defence Strategy Study to examine options for the future. 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「Otterhampton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
