Shottle is a village roughly west of Belper, Derbyshire England. In Norman times, the manor of Shottle, referred to as "Sothille" in the Domesday Survey, belonged to the Ferrers〔Henry de Ferrers held a considerable number of manors including a large number in Derbyshire given to him by the King. These included obviously Shottle, but also included Barrow upon Trent, Chellaston, Etwall, Hatton, Osmaston, Normanton, Derbyshire, Spondon and Swarkestone〕 family. In 1086, the book notes that
Shottle Park was one of the seven parks within Duffield Frith.〔Turbutt, G., (1999) ''A History of Derbyshire. Volume 2: Medieval Derbyshire,'' Cardiff: Merton Priory Press〕 The gate at its south east corner is still known as Shottle Gate. To the south was the much smaller Postern Park. The present day parish is known as Shottle and Postern. It was annexed to the Duchy of Lancaster after the rebellion by Robert de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby. It is thought to have passed to the Earl of Shrewsbury during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It was sold in 1630 by Philip, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, to Christian, the wife of William Cavendish, 2nd Earl of Devonshire.〔Daniel and Samuel Lysons (1817) Magna Britannia: volume 5 Pages 129-142 'Parishes: Doveridge - Duffield', http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50727.

The station, which is on the Wirksworth Branch, was closed in 1947 to passengers and the building is owned by Peak Oil Ltd. The railway line is being reopened to passengers as the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. ==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「Shottle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
