Padstow ((コーンウォール語:Lannwedhenek)) is a town, civil parish and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town is situated on the west bank of the River Camel estuary approximately northwest of Wadebridge, northwest of Bodmin and northeast of Newquay.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 200 ''Newquay & Bodmin'' ISBN 978-0-319-22938-5〕 The population of Padstow civil parish was 3,162 in the 2001 census,〔(Parish population for North Cornwall district ), Cornwall County Council and ONS, 2001〕 reducing to 2,993 at the 2011 census〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 In addition an electoral ward with the same name exists but extends as far as Trevose Head. The population for this ward is 4,434〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 census )〕 ==History== Padstow was originally named ''Petroc-stow'', Petroc-stowe, or 'Petrock's Place', after the Welsh missionary Saint Petroc, who landed at Trebetherick around AD 500. After his death a monastery (Lanwethinoc, the church of Wethinoc an earlier holy man) was established here which was of great importance until "Petroces stow" (probably Padstow) was raided by the Vikings in 981, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.〔Orme, Nicholas (2007) ''Cornwall and the Cross''. Chichester: Phillimore; p. 10 "(Padstow or Bodmin ) ... presumably by a Viking attack"〕 Whether as a result of this attack or later the monks moved inland to Bodmin taking with them the relics of St Petroc.〔Orme (2007); p. 10〕 The cult of St Petroc was important both in Padstow and Bodmin. Padstow is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was held by Bodmin Monastery. There was land for 4 ploughs, 5 villeins who had 2 ploughs, 6 smallholders and 24 acres of pasture. It was valued at 10/- (10 shillings or 50p).〔Thorn, C., et al., eds. (1979) ''Cornwall''. (Domesday Book; 10.) Chichester: Phillimore; entry 4,4〕 In the medieval period Padstow was commonly called Aldestowe ('old place' in contrast to Bodmin, the 'new place').〔Henderson, C. "Parochial history () Padstow", in: ''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925). Truro: Blackford, pp. 173-74)〕 or Hailemouth ("hayle" being Cornish for estuary). The modern Cornish form ''Lannwedhenek'' derives from ''Lanwethinoc'' and in a simpler form appears in the name of the Lodenek Press, a publisher based in Padstow. The seal of the borough of Padstow was a ship with three masts the sails furled and an anchor hanging from the bow, with the legend "Padstow." 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「Padstow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
