Shippon is a village in Oxfordshire, England, 1 mile west of Abingdon. It is the largest village in the civil parish of St Helen Without, in Vale of White Horse District. It was in Berkshire until transferred to Oxfordshire in 1974. Dalton Barracks are located in the village. The name was recorded in the Domesday Book as ''Scipene'', meaning "cattle-shed".〔 〕 It was a manor in the large parish of St Helen's, Abingdon, and was held by Abingdon Abbey until the Dissolution in 1538. It was then acquired by the Duchy of Cornwall, which still owns it. Shippon became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1865. The parish church of St Mary Magdalene was built in 1855 to a design of Gilbert Scott.〔 == 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「Shippon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
