Up Hatherley is a civil parish and a suburb of the spa town of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. Formerly a hamlet in the parish of Shurdington, it became a parish in 1887 and became a part of Cheltenham in 1991.〔 〕 ==History== The village was recorded (combined with Down Hatherley) as ''Hegberleo'' in 1022.〔 It was listed as ''Athelai'' in the Domesday Book of 1086. In 1273 it was known as ''Dunheytherleye'' and in 1221, ''Hupheberleg''.〔 The name derived from the Old English ''hagu-thorn'' + ''lēah'' meaning "hawthorn clearing".〔 the distinguishing affixes "Up" and "Down" derived from the Old English ''upp'' meaning "higher upstream" and ''dūne'' meaning "lower downstream".〔 Down Hatherley is a separate parish three miles (5 km) downstream on the Hatherley Brook.〔 The parish of Up Hatherley was formed from a small settlement of scattered farms in 1887 and remained little changed until 1945.〔 Prior to that it had been considered a hamlet in the parish of Shurdington. Along with Swindon Village, Leckhampton and Prestbury, the parish was added to the borough of Cheltenham in 1991.〔 〕 Part of the parish was transferred to the parish of Shurdington.〔 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「Up Hatherley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
