Stockland Bristol (formerly Stockland Gaunts) is a village and civil parish in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, between Bridgwater and the Steart Peninsula. ==History== It was recorded in the Domesday book as Stocheland meaning 'A stockade with land' from the Old English ''stoc'' and ''land''. The name Bristol was added later from its medieval owner, Bristol Corporation. Stockland Bristol was part of the hundred of Cannington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18546 )〕 In the early 13th century the manor of Stockland was held by Maurice de Gaunt (d.1230), who left it in his will to St Mark's Hospital, Bristol, later known as Gaunts Hospital. In 1541 the manor was granted to Bristol Corporation, which held it until 1839. The village lies on Combwich Reach as the River Parrett flows to the sea. The Steart peninsula has flooded many times during the last millennium. The most severe recent floods occurred in 1981. By 1997, a combination of coastal erosion, sea level rise and wave action had made some of the defences distinctly fragile and at risk from failure. As a result, in 2002 the Environment Agency produced the Stolford to Combwich Coastal Defence Strategy Study to examine options for the future. In the early part of World War II Stockland Bristol was chosen by the Radio Security Service〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ystations.webs.com/radiosecurityservice.htm )〕 (RSS) as the site for two wireless Direction Finding (D/F) stations known as Y-stations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.zamboodle.demon.co.uk/rss_old/box25his.pdf )〕 They were located in the fields alongside Steart Road. These installations would have been used to locate the source of enemy radio transmissions. They were demolished after 1945. 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「Stockland Bristol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
