Childwall () is an affluent suburb of Liverpool, Merseyside, England and a Liverpool City Council Ward. Historically in Lancashire, it is located to the south of the city, bordered by Gateacre, Wavertree, Belle Vale, Broadgreen, Bowring Park and Mossley Hill. In 2008 the population was recorded as 14,085. ==History== The earliest recorded reference to Childwall was in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086.
Childwall was known as ''Cileuuelle'' in the 1086 ''Domesday Book'' meaning 'a stream where youngsters meet' from the Old English words ''cild'' and ''wella''. Historically the name has been recorded as ''Childewalle'' (1212 and 1332), ''Chaldewall'' (1238), ''Childwall'' (1261), ''Childewelle'' (1291), ''Chaldewal'' (1305) and ''Childewall'' (1354). Childwall was traditionally part of the West Derby Hundred. It was an urban district from the Local Government Act 1894 until it was annexed to Liverpool in 1913. All Saints' Church, Childwall is the oldest church in Liverpool. Though Childwall still maintains a large Jewish community, since the 1980s this has been in gradual decline with some of those formerly of the Childwall Jewish community now living in Gateacre and Allerton. 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「Childwall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
