Braydon is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, near Swindon, best known for sharing its name with Braydon Forest. Its population was 50 in 2014 and was 48 in 1881.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wiltshire Community History - Census )〕 ==History== Evidence has been found of prehistoric people, including a Neolithic axehead and a possible Palaeolithic flint tool.〔http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/smr/smr_search.php?parish_in=Braydon〕 In 903, the rebel Saxon Æthelwold of Wessex and the Viking raiding-army from East Anglia raided Braydon and the surrounding area.〔Swanton, M. 2000 The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles (London: Phoenix Press)〕 In the Middle Ages, Braydon was a tithing of Purton and belonged to the Duchy of Lancaster, giving rise to the name of Duchy Wood, and passed to the Crown with the rest of the Duchy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDF )〕 Red Lodge was a royal hunting lodge until the land was developed in the 17th century. In 1826, the Crown exchanged Braydon for other land and it thus came into the ownership of the 3rd Earl of Clarendon, who had previously leased it. In 1829 the estate was sold to Joseph Neeld of Grittleton, at which time it consisted of divided into several farms, called Battle Lake, Cock's Hill, Duchy, Maple Sale, Park Gate with Roebuck, Pound House, Raven's Roost, Red Lodge, and White Lodge. In 1901 the Neeld estate was broken up, and by 1910 about half of Braydon belonged to Mr J. E. Ward, whose granddaughter Elizabeth Ward owned Red Lodge, Pound and Coxhill farms in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDf )〕 In 1868, Braydon became a civil parish separate from Purton.〔 In 1887 Braydon was said to be "occupied chiefly by squatters, who led a wretched life".〔''Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine'', XXIII, p. 164〕 In the 1880s the village gained a Methodist Chapel, and its records from 1889 to 1989 are now held in the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Braydon Methodist Chapel (ref. GB/NNAF/C36656) )〕 The chapel is now served by the Methodist minister of Wootton Bassett.〔http://www.wbmc.co.uk/outreach.html〕 A school was also built in the later part of the 19th century but was closed 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「Braydon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
