''(Census population and household counts for unparished urban areas and all parishes )''. Retrieved December 2, 2005.〕 The village lies at the end of Thurne Dyke, a popular mooring, not least because of Thurne windpump, which became known locally as Morse's Mill, after the late Bob Morse,〔(Bob Morse (1924–2007) ) windmillworld.com〕 who purchased it to prevent it from being sold for scrap. Painted white it is a popular object for photography. There is a second windpump across the river, the St Benet's Level windpump. Thurne is also home to the well-respected sailing club Theta,〔(1945 Theta Sailing Club ) Retrieved November 30, 2007〕 which has been accommodated here for over half a century and is now part of the village's character. Free moorings are available for three boats at Thurne mouth. From there it is a short walk to the village, with a large pub, the ''Lion Inn'', and a small shop. The Weavers' Way, a long-distance footpath, runs through the village. == Notes == 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「Thurne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
