Stanton-under-Bardon is a village and civil parish about southeast of Coalville, Leicestershire, England. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 634. Most of the houses are red brick, ahd many on Main Street are terraced and have long, thin gardens. The village is set in farmland and open fields and is near Junction 22 of the M1 motorway. The village is near Markfield, with which it shares a local newspaper, the ''Markfield and Stanton Under Bardon Herald''. The village has a thatched pub, post office, two churches and a primary school. Bardon Quarry is nearby. ==History== Stanton under Bardon derives from the Old English words ''stᾱn'' for "stone" and ''tῡn'' for a village or estate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Leicestershire/Stanton%20under%20Bardon )〕 The Domesday Book of 1086 records Stanton under Bardon under the Guthlaxon hundred of Suffolk. It records the village as having had 18 households and three geld units. These were average statistics for the time in comparison to surrounding villages such as Barlestone and Osbaston. Geld units refer to the total tax assessed on each property. It is also noted that there were 13 villagers and five smallholders, which were required to pay £1 to the Lord as rent in 1086 to Lord Geoffrey of la Guerche. In the early 1870s the ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' described Stanton under Bardon as :''a township-chapelry in Thornton parish, Leicester; near Bardon Hill r. station, 1½ mile NW of Thornton village. Post town, Thornton, under Leicester. Acres, 1,400. Real property, £1, 952. Pop., 312. Houses, 64. The manor belongs to Earl Grey. The living is annexed to Thornton. There is a Wesleyan chapel.'' In 1881 a high proportion of the local population worked with various minerals, suggesting that stone was key to the areas foundations and the possible cause for the naming of the village.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10391301/cube/OCC_ORDER1881 )〕 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「Stanton under Bardon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
