Poundstock ((コーンウォール語:Tregorlann)) is a civil parish and a hamlet on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The hamlet is situated four miles (6.5 km) south of Bude half-a-mile west of the A39 trunk road about one mile from the coast.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 190 ''Bude & Clovelly'' ISBN 978-0-319-23145-6〕 Poundstock civil parish is in the Registration District of Stratton. It is bounded to the west by the Atlantic Ocean; to the north by Marhamchurch parish, to the east by Week St Mary parish, and to the south by the parishes of Jacobstow and St Gennys. The population of the parish in the 2001 census was 805, increasing to 925 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 An electoral ward bearing the same name also exists with a population at the same census of 3,846.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 census )〕 The manor of Poundstock was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was held by Jovin from Robert, Count of Mortain. Before 1066 it had been held by Gytha who paid tax for one virgate of land but there was one hide of land and land for 6 ploughs. There were 2 ploughs, 1 serf, 1 villein, 3 smallholders, 10 acres of woodland, 40 acres of pasture, 10 cattle and 50 sheep. The value of the manor was £1; "this land is of St. Kew's".〔Thorn, C. et al., ed. (1979) ''Cornwall''. Chichester: Phillimore; entry 5,7,6〕 A free community magazine, ''The Poundstock Packet'', is produced every two months and distributed to every household in the parish. ==Parish church and Gildhouse== The parish church of St Winwaloe is at in Poundstock hamlet and its battlemented tower houses a ring of six bells, rehung in 2000. The medieval church consists of a nave, chancel, north transept, north aisle and west tower. The aisle is of 15th century date and the church was tactfully restored by J. D. Sedding. Features of interest include the Gothic font (probably 13th century), the Jacobean pulpit, and three wall paintings on the north wall. These are much faded but interesting for their iconography: they are the Tree of Deadly Sins, the Warning to Sabbath-breakers and the Weighing of Souls.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) ''Cornwall''; 2nd ed., revised by Enid Radcliffe. Harmondsworth: Penguin; p. 146-47〕 Next to the church, Poundstock Gildhouse is a well-preserved late medieval church house, the only surviving one of its kind in Cornwall that is still used for its original purpose. It has been used continuously since it was built and is a Grade I listed building. Following a substantial restoration in 2007-8, under the direction of architect Jonathan Rhind, the Gildhouse received the Royal Institute of British Architects South West Town and Country Conservation award for 2009. In March 2012 the Gildhouse was a winner of a European Union laureate for cultural heritage/Europa Nostra award in the conservation section and in early June was given the Europa Nostra Grand Prix. 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「Poundstock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
