Whittlesford is a village in Cambridgeshire, England, and also the name of an old hundred. The village is situated on the Granta branch of the River Cam, seven miles south of Cambridge. Whittlesford Parkway railway station serves the village. Listed as ''Witelesforde'' in the Domesday Book, the name Whittlesford means "ford of a man called Wittel", indicating the importance of a local ford across the river in the village. ==History== The 1976-acre parish built up to the west of the River Cam just to the north of the Icknield Way, an ancient thoroughfare, and the historical parish boundary is bounded by the route to the south. The area was occupied in Roman times.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roman settlement south of Chronicle Hills, Whittlesford )〕 A hospital was founded in the village, by Sir William Colville, before the time of Edward I and there are some remains of the original building. Whittlesford was at one stage a market town. Roger Ascham, the tutor of Elizabeth I, lived in Whittlesford, and a road in the village is named after him. 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「Whittlesford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
