Peas Hill is a street in central Cambridge, England.〔(Peas Hill ), Cambridge City Council.〕〔(Peas Hill ), (Cambridge Online ).〕 It runs between Wheeler Street to the south and Market Hill to the north. King's Parade runs parallel with the street to the west. Guildhall Street runs parallel to the east. The area is not strictly speaking a hill, being lower in elevation than some surrounding areas, but was once a slope down to the river upon which the city's main fish market stood. It is likely that its name is a corruption of the Latin ''pisces'' (fish) as there is no evidence that peas were ever exclusively grown or sold on the site.〔Ronald D. Gray, Derek Stubbings, ''Cambridge street-names: their origins and associations''. Cambridge University Press, 2000. ISBN 0-521-78956-7, ISBN 978-0-521-78956-1.〕 St Edward King and Martyr church is on the west side of the street. The church is dedicated to Edward the Martyr, who was King of England from 975 until his murder in 978. It was at St Edward's in 1525 that what is said to have been the first sermon of the English Reformation took place. As such, the church is sometimes called the "Cradle of the Reformation".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About St Edward's )〕 Also on Peas Hill is the Cambridge Arts Theatre. 〔(Peas Hill: Arts Theatre ), (Cambridge 2000 ).〕 This venue is used by the Cambridge Footlights amongst others. The Cambridge Guildhall is to the east, on the corner with the Market Square.〔(Peas Hill: Guildhall ), (Cambridge 2000 ).〕 The building is used by the Cambridge City Council. ==See also== *St Edward's Passage 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「Peas Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
