Cotton is a small village and civil parish located in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England. Cotton lies a few miles to the east of the Great Eastern Main Line and to the west of the A140. Nearby villages include Mendlesham and Bacton, and the parish also includes the small hamlet of Dandy Corner. It's precise location is 4½ miles north east of its post town, Stowmarket, and 2½ miles north west of Mendlesham. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SFK/Cotton/ )〕 In 2005 its population was 510 〔 and according to the 2011 census, the total population had increased by 16 to 526. In the 1870s, Cotton was described as :"a parish in Hartismere district, Suffolk; on the Eastern Union railway, 1½ mile S of Finningham r. station, and 6 N by E of Stowmarket. The church is good; and there is a Wesleyan chapel, a parochial school, and charities." ==Population== Between 1801 and 2011, according to UK Census data, the population of Cotton has fluctuated quite a lot. In 1801, the population of the village was 441; it continued to rise until it reached its peak population in 1831 of a population of 585. It then began to steadily decrease for several decades until 1951 where the village reached its lowest recorded population of 363. This could have affected the economy and industry of Cotton, as the workforce was dwindling. However, after this point in 1951, the population began to gradually increase again and in 2011 it was recorded to be 526. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10252246/cube/TOT_POP )〕 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「Cotton, Suffolk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
