Wootton is a small village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated south-east from Barton-upon-Humber, north-east from Brigg and north from Humberside Airport. ==History== A large mound, locally known as ''Galley Hill'', has been designated a Scheduled monument as it is believed to be a Bronze Age Round barrow dating from 2600 to 700 B.C. Wootton is an Anglo-Saxon settlement and is recorded in the ''Domesday Book'' as "Udetune".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wootton )〕 Inhabited by 8 villagers, 7 smallholders and 71 freemen, in over 40 households, it was considered 'very large'. The lordship of the manor was jointly held by Odo of Bayeux, a half-brother of William the Conqueror and Ralph de Mortimer, with Mortimer the tenant-in-chief.〔 The Anglo-Saxon church of St Andrew is constructed of stone in Early English style, and was restored in 1851. To the North of the village is the Grade II * listed Wootton Hall which was built in 1796 for John Uppleby.〔 Surrounding structures including a house (formerly one of a pair), a barn, the hall gates, and stables and other outbuildings, are also Grade II listed with English Heritage. There was a village windmill on Green Lane, but it was demolished in the mid-20th century. 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「Wootton, North Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
