:''There is also a Southleigh in Devon.'' South Leigh is a village and civil parish on Limb Brook, a small tributary of the River Thames, about east of Witney in Oxfordshire. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 336. ==Manor== South Leigh was not mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, but was recorded in 1190 as ''Stanton Lega''. The manor house was built in the second half of the 16th century. It is now called Church Farm House. In the middle of the 17th century William Gore acquired the manor. The Gores consolidated South Leigh as a separate estate within Stanton Harcourt parish, but this led to a series of disputes over landholdings intermixed between the two. When Stanton Harcourt's common lands were being enclosed in 1773, its enclosure commissioners suggested promoting a single Parliamentary bill to enclose both estates.〔 Edward Gore and his tenants in South Leigh disagreed due to the unresolved boundary disputes and consequent disagreement over what lands would be allotted to whom under the enclosure award.〔 Instead Stanton Harcourt's enclosure commissioners were empowered to settle a definitive boundary between the two estates.〔 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「South Leigh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
