Poyntington is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in South West England. It lies within the West Dorset administrative district, on the edge of the Blackmore Vale about north of Sherborne. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 128.〔 Poyntington shares a grouped parish council, Yeohead & Castleton Parish Council, with the three village parishes of Castleton, Goathill and Oborne.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yeohead & Castleton Parish Council )〕 Historically the village was part of the hundred of Horethorne in neighbouring Somerset.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕 All Saints' Church has grown from an Anglo-Saxon two-room design and contains original Norman work. Murals on pillars were discovered in 1848〔(Poyntington ), Genuki, accessed July 2009〕 but were destroyed by their exposure. Two stained-glass windows date from the fourteenth century. An unusual addition is a carving of an angel's wing which was blown off Amiens Cathedral in World War I and then donated to the church.〔(Poyntington Church ), Dorset Historic Churches Trust, accessed July 2009〕 ==Notable residents== *Sir Thomas Malet, Judge *William Launcelot Scott Fleming 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「Poyntington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
