Stanwick (pronounced with a silent 'w') is a village and civil parish in East Northamptonshire, England. ==History== There has been a settlement at Stanwick since Roman times at the latest. A Roman villa was excavated in 1984–1992 and several mosaics were found prior to the construction of a bypass and mass excavation of gravel.〔Raunds Area Survey: An archaeological study of the landscape of Raunds, Northamptonshire 1985-1994, Stephen Parry ISBN 1-84217-180-1〕〔Stanwick Quarry, Northamptonshire, Raunds Area Project: Phasing the Iron Age and Romano-British Settlement at Stanwick, Northamptonshire (Excavations 1984-1992). Volume Two Archaeological report Issue 54, Part 2011 of Research Department report series, ISSN 1749-8775 (Vicky Crosby, Liz Muldowney, English Heritage)〕 In 2013, one of the mosaics was returned after study and is now on display in the Visitor Centre at Stanwick Lakes. Over time the pronunciation and spelling of the name has changed slightly. * 10th century, it was referred to as "Stan Wigga". * 1086 in the ''Domesday Book'' it is referred to as "Stanwige" and "Stanwica". * 1137 in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' it is referred to as "Stanwigga". * 1668 on the funeral monument to John Atkins, Lord of the Manor, it is referred to as "Stanwigge".〔Mural monument in the chancel of St Laurence Church〕 The name is derived from the Old English words ''stan'' ‘stone, rocks’ and ''wic'' ‘dwellings, farm, hamlet’. It means a settlement made of stone. In 1086 the manor of Stanwick was held by Peterborough Abbey but by 1284 there appear to have been two manors.〔(Stanwick History )〕 In 2007, Stanwick, Hargrave, Raunds and Ringstead were legally united as "The 4 Spires Benefice", with each village retaining its own church. 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「Stanwick, Northamptonshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
