Redhill, Somerset : ウィキペディア英語版 | Redhill, Somerset
Redhill is a village in the parish of Wrington, Somerset, England, on the A38 Bridgwater Road about south of Bristol and close to Bristol Airport. It falls within the Unitary Authority of North Somerset ==History==
The earliest record of the name Redhill that has been found is on Day & Master's map of Somerset from as late as 1782. The name may simply derive from the appearance of the unmetalled road up the hill, with deep cartwheel ruts scored into the red earth. Alternatively the name may mean Roe Hill or Roe Hollow, alluding to the roe deer which are still plentiful in the area. Some dictionaries give the name as deriving from Ragiol, a village featured in the Domesday Book of 1086; this however, seems more likely to be Regil or Ridgehill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= What's in a Name ? )〕
