Roadwater is a village south-west of Williton, on the northern edge of the Exmoor National Park, in Somerset, England. ==History== The village was formerly known as ''Rode'' and had a mill by 1243. During the 18th and 19th centuries there were a large number of mills set beside the Washford River. Manor Mills survives and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 An Ebenezer Chapel was built in 1842, which was succeeded by the current Methodist chapel in 1907 as part of a strong temperance movement which began in 1868 under the influence of the Trevelyans of Nettlecombe. The mission church and school of St Luke were opened in the 1880s.〔 It has links with the West Somerset Mineral Railway, which transported iron ore in the 19th century from the Brendon Hills to Watchet on the coast. More recent history is demonstrated in the restoration of a World War II pillbox.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roadwater Pillbox )〕 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「Roadwater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
