Rotton Park is an area of Birmingham, encompassing the north of Edgbaston Ward and the Southern Extremes of Soho Ward, to the city boundary. Sources differ as to the origin of the name. Some claim it is derived from the Rotton family,〔 Heritage Media DVD, 'Mysterious Birmingham'〕 (Ambrose and Bridget Rotton built a surviving timber-framed house, now known as Stratford House (), at Camp Hill, in 1601〔). Others say it is derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'rot tun', meaning 'cheerful farm'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rotton Park )〕 The first recorded use of the name was in 1275.〔 A 1307 document refers to "Parc de Rotton juxta () Birmingham".〔 For a time, Birmingham City Council had a Rotten Park Ward. Edgbaston Reservoir was formerly known as Rotton Park Reservoir, and the adjacent Icknield Port Loop of the Birmingham Canal Navigations was originally called the Rotton Park Loop. The name survives in Rotton Park Road, site of the former Rotton Park Road railway station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rotton Park Road Station )〕 == References == 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「Rotton Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
