It is owned and maintained by the City of London Corporation, apart from two small areas, one of which is operated by the London Wildlife Trust〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Riddlesdown SSSI )〕 and the other by Croydon Council.〔 Most of it is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest. The name Riddlesdown also applies to the local district of residential housing. ==History== Discoveries of Neolithic stone axes and possible traces of Iron Age fields show that occupation goes back thousands of years. The name Riddlesdown is first recorded in 1331 as ''Ridelsdoune'' meaning 'cleared woodland on a hill'. In medieval time Riddlesdown and the neighbouring Kenley Common formed part of the waste land of the manor of Watendone, and the commoners rights included pasture for their livestock and gathering of materials for fuel. In the nineteenth century the coming of the railways increased the value of the land, and the lord of the manor, Edmund Byron, began enclosing the area. One local landowner, William Hall, refused to sell his land to Byron, and in 1877 Hall and his brother brought a case against Byron in the Court of Chancery for encroaching on Common Land. They were successful, William Hall then asked the Corporation of London to purchase the land to preserve it as open space. In 1883 the Corporation bought Riddlesdown and Kenley Common.〔(London Gardens Online, Riddlesdown )〕〔(London Borough of Croydon, Riddlesdown )〕 They became part of the ''City Commons'', seven green spaces in south London managed by the City Corporation of London.〔(City of London, City Commons )〕 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「Riddlesdown Common」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
