Wardour is a settlement in Wiltshire, England, about west of Salisbury and south of Hindon. Formerly a parish in its own right, it is now part of the civil parish of Tisbury.〔(Wardour ) at genuki.org.uk, accessed 14 November 2011〕 The land was an estate of Wilton Abbey by the 11th century; in the 18th century part of the estate was in Tisbury parish and part in Donhead St Andrew. In 1835 Tisbury was divided into three parishes: East Tisbury, West Tisbury and Wardour. In 1927 East Tisbury and Wardour were united as Tisbury civil parish. The ruins of Wardour Castle are a prominent feature. Slighted during the English Civil War, this stronghold was replaced in 1776 by New Wardour Castle, long the home of the Lords Arundell of Wardour and later of Cranborne Chase School. All Saints' Roman Catholic chapel, Wardour, originally belonged to the Arundells' household. It was enlarged in 1788 by the eighth Lord Arundell to the designs of John Soane. The chapel still has regular services and is also used for musical events. Wardour Catholic Primary School was built in 1862.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wardour.wilts.sch.uk )〕 John Marius Wilson's ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' (1870-1872) said of Wardour: ==Notable people== * The Arundell baronetcy * Lucy Neville-Rolfe (born at Wardour in 1953), senior civil servant, businesswoman and politician * Nicholas Hyde (born at Wardour c.1572), Lord Chief Justice of England 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「Wardour, Wiltshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
