Tetworth – in Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England – is a small village near Waresley south of St Neots. Tetworth is in the ward of Gransden and the Offords in the District of Huntingdonshire. ==History== Originally a hamlet in the parish of Everton, Bedfordshire, Tetworth has a complicated administrative history. The hamlet, which was considered a civil parish separate from Everton from the Inclosure Award of 1802, was in two distinct parts. The northern part was in Huntingdonshire, the southern partly an exclave of Huntingdonshire and partly of Bedfordshire. The Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 assigned the Bedfordshire part to Huntingdonshire, so that the entire southern section became an outlier of Huntingdonshire, separated from the rest of the county by a salient of Cambridgeshire. This situation remained until 1965, when two new counties of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely and Huntingdon and Peterborough were formed. At this time both county and parish boundaries were adjusted, Tetworth now being a single area in Huntingdon and Peterborough. In 1974 it was made part of the enlarged Cambridgeshire. The parish, formerly covering was combined with Waresley on 1 April 2010, as Waresley cum Tetworth.〔(The Huntingdonshire (Parishes) Order 2009 ) Retrieved 25 September 2010〕 Listed as ''Tethewurda'' in the 12th century and ''Tetteworth'' or ''Tettesworthe'' in the 13th century, the name Tetworth is believed to mean "farmstead of a man named Tetta". A Roman road from Sandy to Godmanchester runs through Tetworth, with a footpath following most of its route. 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「Tetworth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
