Weston is a suburb and electoral ward of Bath in England, located in the north west of the city.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward Maps )〕 Originally a separate village, Weston has become part of Bath as the city has grown, first through the development of Lower Weston in Victorian times and then by the incorporation of the village itself – also called Upper Weston – into the city with the siting of much local authority housing there in the period after World War II. ==History== The earliest evidence of occupation comes from two Celtic Caddy spoons found in the village in 1825. There are believed to have been used as ceremonial anointing regalia.〔Hargood-Ash page 6〕 During the 10th century Weston had been divided into two estates. One, on the slopes of Lansdown was given by Edmund I to Aethelare in 946.〔Hargood-Ash pages 9-12〕 Weston was the birthplace of Saint Alphege who was born around 954.〔Knowles pages 28, 241〕 The two manors are recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 one held by Abbot Sewold and the other by Arnulf de Hesding.〔Hargood-Ash page 14〕 During the 12th and 13th centuries Weston had close ties with the monks of Bath Abbey and in the late 13th century the first vicar of Weston was appointed by the church.〔Hargood-Ash pages 19-28〕 Weston was part of the hundred of Bath Forum,〔Collinson page 97〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )〕 with a manorial court or Halmote being held in the Parish.〔Hargood-Ash page 29〕 The land continued to be owned by the church and leased to tenants until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539.〔Hargood-Ash page 39〕 The estates in Weston then reverted to the king. In 1628 it was sold to the Corporation of London although the king continued to receive rent until 1671 when it was old to Sir Walter Long,〔Hargood-Ash page 53〕 who was Member of Parliament for Bath from 1679 (the Habeas Corpus Parliament) to 1681. Following the Battle of Lansdowne in 1643, some of the defeated Roundheads took refuge in Weston.〔Hargood-Ash page 84〕 The village expanded during the 19th century with many areas being drained, the church being rebuilt and new schools established. The Georgian expansion of Bath included many houses being built in Weston and in 1834 Partis College was built. Developments continued into the Victorian era with Weston Park and Combe Park being developed.〔Hargood-Ash pages 100-110〕 Parts of Weston are at risk of flooding due to old watercourses, sinks and springs in the area. West Brook now runs underground below the High Street, but this floods periodically. In 2013 the Weston Catchment alleviation scheme was announced to further protect the area. 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「Weston, Bath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
