Winwick is a parish in the district and former county of Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England. It is a crossroads village situated along the B660 near Hamerton west of Huntingdon. Winwick is located 18.5 miles South South West of Peterborough and 34 miles North West of Cambridge. The meaning of the name Winwick contains two separate elements, ‘Win’ and ‘wic’. ‘Win’ refers to a personal name and ‘wic’ means a dwelling. Combining these elements gives the full meaning of Winwick which is Wina’s specialised farm. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Huntingdonshire/Winwick )〕 According to the 2011 census, the total population is 202. Winwick contains 'All Saints' church and 'Veazey Coaches Limited', a family run coach hire company that has been running since 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/veazey-coaches )〕 The coach company takes children who live in Winwick to school in Great Gidding. In the 1870s, Winwick was described as: : "WINWICK, a parish in the district of Oundle and counties of Huntingdon and Northampton; 4½ miles SE by E of Barnwell r. station, and 6½ SE by S of Oundle. Post town, Oundle. Acres, 1,710. Real property, £1,813. Pop., 380. Houses, 82. The property is much subdivided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Ely. Value, £90. * Patron, the Duke of Buccleuch. The church was restored in 1865. Charities, £18." ==History== Currently Winwick is within the district of Huntingdonshire however, until 1895 it was in two separate districts, Huntingdonshire and Northamptonshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/rd/3b7a53aa-8227-4d06-b8af-cdcefb7aaf45 )〕 During the 1800s, the village was growing in size as the population reached 431 people in 1851 however, this is considerably larger than the present population of the village at only 202 people. Back in 1546, the plague claimed 40 lives between March and April including that of the vicar. 〔 It has been said that; : "There was a great fire which burnt down much of the village in around 1910" Edwardian era. The houses were thatched which meant that the fire spread through the village easily. 〔 John Clarke. 24 March 2015 〕 During the 1800s, : "the village existed to service drovers as there were springs there and there used to be a few pubs". 〔 John Clake. 24 March 2015 〕 However, these pubs are no longer present within the village. 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「Winwick, Cambridgeshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
