Walton (historically) was a hamlet that is now a district and civil parish in Milton Keynes, ceremonial Buckinghamshire, England.〔(Milton Keynes parishes as of 2002 (map) )〕 The name is also used for a local government electoral ward. The historic hamlet is located about four miles south of Central Milton Keynes and just east of Simpson, mostly along Walton Road in the modern Walnut Tree district. The modern H9 Groveway grid road severs a few of its houses into Walton Hall and the V10 Brickhill Street separates the Manor Farm into Walton grid square, where it was previously a research centre for Hoechst and is now the UK headquarters of MSD Animal Health.〔(MSD Animal Health contact details )〕 The village name is a common one in England, and is an Old English language word, meaning either 'village of the Britons' (''wale'' being a word meaning Briton) or 'walled village'. The village is first recorded (in the 12th century) as ''Wauton''.〔(Victoaria History of the Counties of England: Buckinghamshire Vol IV: Newport Hundred : Walton )〕 The manor house of the village, (Walton Hall) and its chapel of ease, now deconsecrated, are in the campus grounds of The Open University, in the Walton Hall district. ==Modern Walton== The modern Walton district is a light-industrial and residential district on the banks of the River Ouzel, a tributary of the Great Ouse and on the other side of Brickhill Street from the hamlet that gives it its name. It is largely the grounds of Walton Manor Farm. The other village farm, Walnut Tree Farm, still exists and the Walnut Tree district is on its lands. 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「Walton, Milton Keynes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
