The village is home to the RNAS Yeovilton (HMS Heron) and the associated Fleet Air Arm Museum. ==History== Yeovilton is close to the route of the Fosse Way a Roman road that linked Exeter (''Isca Dumnoniorum'') in South West England to Lincoln (''Lindum Colonia'') in the East Midlands, via Ilchester (''Lindinis''), Bath (''Aquae Sulis''), Cirencester (''Corinium'') and Leicester (''Ratae Corieltauvorum''). There is evidence of a Romano-British farmstead under what is now the airfield. Between 899 and 925 an estate in Yeovilton was granted by King Edward and between 955 and 959 King Eadwig gave a further holding of five hides to Brihtric. The parish Yeovilton was part of the hundred of Somerton, while Podimore was part of the Whitley Hundred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕 In 1411 the lord of the manor was John Rogers, who also held the manor of Barwick, and by 1602 these had been inherited by Henry Lyte. The holding was purchased by G. D. W. Digby of Sherborne Castle in Dorset in 1857, and remained with the Digby family until 1919. The village was host to a stage start of the Tour of Britain in 2007. Since 1993 the Fleet Air Arm’s Memorial Church has been the Church of St Bartholomew in Yeovilton. 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「Yeovilton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
