Skipton-on-Swale is a small village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the A61 road, about 4 miles west of Thirsk on the east bank of the River Swale. ==History== The village is mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'' as ''Schipetune'' in the ''Yarlestre hundred'' under the manor of ''Topeclive, (Topcliffe)''. At the time of the Norman invasion, the manor was owned by ''Bernwulf'' and afterwards by ''William of Percy''. In 1086 there were 35 villagers. The overlordship remained with and followed that of Topcliffe, but there were grants as mesne lord to various families over the centuries. For example, in 1284, Baldwin, son of John de Skipton owned land. In the 14th century, John Minniott of nearby Carlton bought land in the village. From 1600, one of the main land owners were the ''Clough'' family who were recorded as still in possession in 1710. After then, manorial rights seem to cease.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 The name is derived from the Anglian word ''Scēp'', meaning ''Sheep'' and the Old English word ''tun'' for ''settlement/farm'', therefore literally ''Sheep farm''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Topynomy )〕 The bridge that crosses the River Swale is a Grade II Listed building designed by John Carr and built in 1781.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bridge Listing )〕 (詳細はウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skipton-on-Swale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
