Threshfield is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England with a population of 980 residents, reducing to 968 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 It borders Grassington, Linton Falls and Skirethorns. Nearby villages (within 7 miles radius) are Linton, Cracoe, Rylstone, Hetton, Hebden, Kilnsey, and Greenhow. == History == Threshfield was originally founded by the Angles. Before 1066 The Domesday Book shows that the Viking Gamel Bern〔Gamel Bern was the (''bairn'' ) of Gamel, Thegn of Mercia, and he the son of Orm or Ulf. Together this family of Noblemen held the most land in Northern England.〕 was the landowner of here and Grassington, farming 840 acres of ploughland. The Norman conquest of England made it part of the lands of Gilbert Tison. But by 1118 Tison had suffered a demotion and his lands returned to the king then given to the honours of Percy, Ramilly, Fitz John and d’Aubigny〔 Paul Dalton. Conquest, Anarchy and Lordship: Yorkshire, 1066-1154〕 The Old Hall, a Georgian inn which takes its name from the 14th century hall at the rear, was built by monks and reputedly the oldest inhabited building in Wharfedale. In the 16th century, Threshfield was part of a huge deer park. Threshield was historically a township in the parish of Linton in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It became a separate civil parish in 1866,〔(Vision of Britain website )〕 and was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974. 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「Threshfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
