Sheldon is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District, England near Bakewell. It is best known for being the closest village to Magpie Mine, a lead mine with an engine house built in the Cornish style. Lead mining flourished around here in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is now scheduled as an ancient monument, and is the most complete example of a lead mine remaining in the Peak District. It is about 1050 feet above sea level. Sheldon is home of the Church of St Michael and All Angels as well. The church was erected in the 19th century with material derived from dismantling the former Chapel of Ease. Church History: The Anglican parish church is dedicated to Saint Michael and All Angels. Some sources give the dedication as just "All Angels" and many sources refer to the church as just a chapel. The present church was built in 1865 near the site of the old chapel. The church burial ground is just a little east of the church. The church seats 140. ==Governance== Sheldon is too small to have a parish council so administrative matters are dealt with by its parish meeting, formed from village residents (who are registered to vote within the parish) as well as the elected chairperson. Sheldon has a small population of approximately 80 people according to the 2001 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2001 Census (archive.org copy) )〕 Sheldon used to have its own monthly magazine but since 2010 the magazine has merged with the Ashford Parish church magazine. 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「Sheldon, Derbyshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
