Stretton-under-Fosse is a village and civil parish in the English county of Warwickshire. In 2001 its population was recorded as 185. The village contains a number of old cottages along its main street. Just outside Stretton is an old manor house ''Newbold Revel'', which is now used as a training college for prison officers. Nearby is the Oxford Canal and a canal arm leading to Stretton Wharf. Confusingly, another village in Warwickshire, Stretton-on-Fosse has a very similar name. The latter is located at the other end of the county. Stretton means "settlement on a Roman Road" (from the Old English stræt and tun). In this case the road is Fosse Way. ==References== * Allen, Geoff, (2000) ''Warwickshire Towns & Villages'', ISBN 1-85058-642-X 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「Stretton-under-Fosse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
