Tean is a large village in Staffordshire, England. It is around south-east of Stoke-on-Trent. The River Tean runs through the village, heading east towards Uttoxeter. The village is itself composed of two villages: Upper Tean (the larger of the two) and Lower Tean. It is part of the Checkley ward within the Staffordshire Moorlands district. The surrounding area is predominantly farming / rural, and it is a short drive into the southern edge of the Peak District. The Heath House, a Gothic Revival mansion and estate, is located to the east of the village. The village also contains an historic tape mill (now converted into apartments / flats). There are a number of pubs & shops, a doctors surgery, nurseries, and three churches. ==History== The village was within the ancient Hundred of Totmonslow as ''Tene'' in the Domesday Book survey of 1086, when it had 15 households.〔(Lower and Upper Tean ) Open Domesday, accessed 9 Aug 2014.〕 In the 18th century, a tape weaving company was established in the village by John and Nathaniel Philips: in 1747 they bought Tean Hall, a half-timbered building in Upper Tean built in 1613, and it became a base for their company. Tapes were at first produced in tape-weavers' cottages, using looms provided by the company. From the early 19th century, factories, housing steam-powered Jacquard looms, were built in the village; the factories, adjacent to Tean Hall, were known as Tean Hall Mills.〔(''Staffordshire Places:Tean'' ) Staffordshire County Council, accessed 8 Aug 2014.〕〔(''Staffordshire Past-track: Tean Hall, Upper Tean'' ) Staffordshire County Council, accessed 8 Aug 2014.〕〔(''Staffordshire Past-track: Tean Hall Mill'' ) Staffordshire County Council, accessed 8 Aug 2014.〕 Manufacturing has ceased in Tean, but the mill buildings, now converted into apartments / flats, remain a notable feature of Upper Tean High Street. 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「Tean, Staffordshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
