Shearsby is a rural village in the English county of Leicestershire. It is in the Harborough district around nine miles due south of Leicester and north east of Lutterworth. In the early 17th century the Vicar of St Mary Magdelene, and also Rector of Knaptoft was John Moore, a Puritan who wrote ''A Mappe of Man's Mortalite'' in 1617 and often struggled to maintain his principles against the authorities within the Church of England. In November 1604 he was brought before the ecclesiastical court for nonconformity, refusing to wear the surplice, and summoned a further four more times in 1605. He was finally discharged by the court in 'hope of conformity'.〔Rev Stephen Copson, ''The Identification of a Parliamentary Army Chaplain: John Moore of Leicestershire'', Leicestershire Archaeological and History Society (1994)〕 ==Listed Buildings== These are the listed buildings at Shearsby: *Back Lane - Cobblestones *Church Lane - Bean Hill Farmhouse and garden wall *Church Lane - Church of St Mary Magdelene *Church Lane - Limetree Cottage *Church Lane - Wheathill Farmhouse and Little Wheathill *Church Lane - Yeomans Cottage *Main Street - Woodbine Cottage *Mill Lane - Rose Cottage *Shearsby Road - Milestone 500 yards north of Shearsby Road All are Grade II, apart from the Church of St Mary Magdalene which is Grade II *.〔 Fuller details of the full set can be found by typing "Shearsby" into the search facility at (Historic England - The List )〕 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「Shearsby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
