Stodmarsh is a small village 5 miles to the east of Canterbury in east Kent, England, overlooking the valley of the River Stour. Stodmarsh is now part of the parish of Wickhambreaux. The parish had a 2001 population of 479.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wickhambreaux CP )〕 The name Stodmarsh is derived from the Saxon words "stode", meaning mare, and "merse", a marsh, demonstrating its former use of pasture for cattle among the marshes. == History == Stodmarsh has been occupied since at least Saxon times, and Saxon burial tumuli have been found near Stodmarsh Court, the 17th century former manor house. In 686 king Eadric of Kent gave the manor, consisting of three ploughlands in the marsh called "Stodmersh", to the monastery of St Augustine in Canterbury.〔http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=get&type=charter&id=9 Charta S9〕 In 1270 Henry III extended this by granting free-warren in all their demesne lands of "Stodmarsch" to the abbot.〔 When the monastery was dissolved in 1537 by Henry VIII the manor fell into the hands of the king, before being granted to John Master of East Langdon six years later who moved to Stodmarsh Court.〔 Stodmarsh was originally a separate civil parish but was added to Wickhambreaux parish in 1934. It falls into the deanery of Bridge within the diocese of Canterbury. 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「Stodmarsh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
