Inglesham is a village and civil parish in the borough of Swindon, Wiltshire, England. The village is just off the A361 road about south-west of Lechlade in Gloucestershire. Most of the population lives in the hamlet of Upper Inglesham, which is on the main road about south of the village. The parish forms the extreme north-east corner of the Borough of Swindon and County of Wiltshire and is bounded to the west and north by the River Thames (which also forms the county boundary with Gloucestershire), and to the east by the county boundary with Oxfordshire (Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes). The River Cole forms part of the eastern boundary. As the parish's population is small it has a parish meeting instead of a parish council. ==Parish church== The 13th century Church of England parish church of St. John the Baptist was restored in 1888–89〔Pevsner & Cherry, 1975, page 276〕 and is listed Grade I.〔Garside, 2005, page 3〕 It is now redundant and is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust. In the churchyard is a Grade II * listed 15th-century stone cross.〔 The base and column survive but the cross itself has been lost. Before the Dissolution of the Monasteries the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey held the manor and benefice.〔Hockey, 1974, page 259〕 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「Inglesham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
