Pannal is a village in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is situated to the immediate south of Harrogate and in many ways is a suburb of the town. The village is served by Pannal railway station on the Harrogate (Railway) Line between Leeds and York. Pannal is well known for its golf course, which attracts people from across the town. It is also known for its young persons football team and training on the Crimple Meadows Field. Every February residents of Pannal put on a pantomime. It is written and performed by residents of the village and is always well attended. It is believed to be so well loved by locals because of the light hearted amusement and entertainment that it offers. ==History and etymology== Pannal has been an important settlement for centuries. It developed in the middle of the former Knaresborough Forest and is believed to date back to the Bronze Age. The etymology of the name ''Pannal'' is uncertain, and multiple accounts exist.〔One account has it that the village became established following the Norman conquest in 1066 where large estates were granted to members of the Pagnell family, where the modern name, Pannal, derives from. Before this naming, the village was known as Rosehurst, which has lent its name to the modern suburb of Rossett. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bentleygt/pannal/background/history.html〕 However, an authoritative account is given by Watts: ::Possibly 'nook of land in the board, shallow pan-shaped valley'. ''Panhal(e)'' 1170–1457, ''Panehal(e)'' 13th cent., ''Panall'' 1301, 1377, ''Pannall'' 1409–1590. OE panne + halh. The exact sense of ''panne'' is uncertain; it might alternatively here be an early instance of the sense 'depression in the ground in which water stands', recorded from 1594: hence possibly 'nook of land with a hollow where water stands'.〔Victor Watts (ed.), ''The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names Based on the Collections of the English Place-Name Society'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), s.v.〕 By the early fourteenth century, Pannal had become a thriving market village with weekly markets and an annual four day fair. The parish of Pannal covered a large area, including Beckwith, Beckwithshaw, Brackenthwaite and Low Harrogate.〔(Genuki website )〕 In 1894 Low Harrogate became part of the new Municipal Borough of Harrogate, and in 1937 the village of Pannal was also added to Harrogate. This left the village of Pannal outside the civil parish of Pannal. This confusing situation continued until 2010, when the civil parish was renamed Beckwithshaw. One of today's most significant structures in Pannal is Pannal Hall, rebuilt in 1860 after a 200 year history. 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「Pannal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
