Tatworth is a village south of Chard in the South Somerset district of the county of Somerset, England. It is part of the Tatworth and Forton civil parish and the electoral ward of the same name. Tatworth is a large village, consisting of a number of smaller villages including South Chard, Perry Street and Chard Junction which are close together. Tatworth has a primary school, two pubs: ''The Poppe Inn'', the ''Golden Fleece'' and the Perry Street Club, a members-only club. It also has a SPAR shop which is also a post office. ==History== A white lias limestone Roman tessera measuring x x and regularly cut on two faces was found in the area,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tessera )〕 and may be connected with the remains of a Roman villa or farmhouse by St Margaret's Lane. Part of this building was excavated in 1967 and pottery and paving found there are displayed in the Chard Museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Story of Tatworth & Forton, briefly told )〕 The name of the village comes from the Old English ''tat'' and ''worp'' meaning 'A cheerful farm'. In 1254, the spelling was Tattewurthe and was a sub-manor of Chard. In 1554 Thatteworh was granted to William Petre as the 'manor and park of Tatworthy' and remained in the family until 1790. Tatworth in the 1850s extended to and had a population of 852.〔 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「Tatworth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
