Thurlaston is a village and civil parish in Leicestershire, England. It is in the Blaby local government district, just over west of the City of Leicester. The 2001 census stated that the parish had a population of 745. The 2011 census gave the population as 807. In 1872 Thurlaston was described as: : ''"Thurlaston, a parish, with a village and two townships, in Blaby district, Leicester; 3½ miles SSE of Desford r. station, and 6 NE of Hinckley. It has a post-office under Hinckley. Acres, 2,980. Real property, £5,914. Pop., 698. Houses, 148." '' ==History== The history of Thurlaston extends back as far as the Saxon era. Originally declared as "Turchilestone" in the 1086 "Domesday Book" publication, it was under the ownership of the Vicount of Leicester ' Robert de Bucy from Hugh de Grandmesnil'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/leicestershire3.html )〕 It is later next recorded in 1270 that Thurlaston fell under the ownership of Robert de Champaine, who controlled the land under the pretence of a Knight's fee allocated to him by the King. The earliest census data regarding industries and professions in Thurlaston is 1831, with agriculture being the chief industry with 53% of occupants being involved; with handcraft and manufacturing making up the remainder. However as of 1881 a more detailed classification of resident occupation was carried out, revealing 90% of industry being directly related to agriculture, with an entirely male workforce. The only recorded work of women at the time was classed as "Domestic Services". Industry in the present day has declined significantly in the agricultural area, with just 4% of the working population being involved. The prominent occupations now are the repair and trade of motor vehicles, and the manufacturing industry, which over a quarter of the entire working population is involved in.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=11129657&c=thurlaston&d=16&e=9&g=6443937&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1393323947626&enc=1&dsFamilyId=2538 )〕 Census data extends Thurlaston's population history back to 1881, with a population of 533. The population remained stable with little fluctuation until a decline to 378 during the 1961 census, however following this a steady growth saw the total rise to today's figure of 807, the highest figure so far recorded. 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「Thurlaston, Leicestershire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
