Crowcombe is a village and civil parish under the Quantock Hills in Somerset, England, south east of Watchet, and from Taunton. The village has a population of 489.〔 The parish covers the hamlets of Crowcombe Heathfield, Flaxpool, Halsway, Lawford and Triscombe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crowcombe )〕 The village is on the route of the Samaritans Way South West. ==History== The name Triscombe is believed to derive from the Old English words ''treows'' and ''cumb''. The first documentary evidence of the village is by Æthelwulf of Wessex in 854, where it was spelt 'Cerawicombe'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crowcombe )〕 At that time the manor belonged to Glastonbury Abbey. Later Gytha Thorkelsdóttir, wife of Earl Godwin, gave it to the monks of Winchester to make amends for her husband's "treacherous abuses of divers monastic institutions". The Domesday Book of 1086 lists the village as 'Crawcombe', which is believed to come from the Old English words ''craw'' and ''cumb''.〔 The parish of Crowcombe was part of the Williton and Freemanners Hundred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕 The medieval cross of red sandstone is north west of Holy Ghost Church. The octagonal shaft is high, topped by a Greek cross added in the 19th century, standing on an octagonal base. Crowcombe Heathfield railway station is two miles from the village on the West Somerset Railway, a heritage railway. A small part of the filming of The Beatles' first feature film, 'A Hard Day's Night', took place here. 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「Crowcombe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
