Selborne
Selborne is a village in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is south of Alton. It is just within the extreme northern boundary of the South Downs National Park, which opened on 1 April 2011.〔(East Hampshire web site )〕 The village receives visitors on almost every day of the year because of its links with the world famous naturalist, Revd. Gilbert White, who was a pioneer of birdwatching.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Natural History of Selborne )〕 ==The village== St Mary the Virgin is a grade I listed church〔(British listed buildings ) retrieved 17 July 2013.〕 that dates back to the late 12th century. There are the Selborne Village Stores/Post Office and a primary school. Furthermore, there are two public houses the "Selborne Arms" and the "Queen's Hotel".〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Pubs Galore )〕 A bus service that runs through the village links it to Alton and Petersfield. At the back of the village, behind the Selborne Arms and Gilbert White's Field Studies Centre, there is the ''Zig-Zag Path'', which was cut into the hillside in the 1760s by Gilbert White and his brother John, to provide easier access to the Hanger and Selborne Common on the summit of Selborne Hill. A complete history of Selborne, from its geology through its establishment as a settlement in the Dark Ages to the present day, including a study of local architecture, was locally published in March 2009: ''Knights, Priests & Peasants'' was written by Dr. Edward Yates, a retired academic polymath and long-time resident of the village. Its 400 pages include oral histories from the turn of the 19th/20th centuries.
