Dunsden Green or Dunsden is a village in the civil parish of Eye & Dunsden in South Oxfordshire, about northeast of Reading, Berkshire. Until 1866 it was in the Oxfordshire part of Sonning parish. ==History== The toponym means "valley of a man named Dyn(n)e". In 1086 the Domesday Book recorded it as ''Dunesdene'', and a document of 1586 records it as ''Donsden Grene''. The Church of England parish church of All Saints〔(Parish Churches of Shiplake, Dunsden and Harpsden )〕 was designed by the architect John Turner and built in 1842. Nearby is the former vicarage. The future First World War poet Wilfred Owen lived here from September 1911 to February 1913 when he served as a lay assistant to the parish priest, Rev. Herbert Wigan.〔(Dunsden | The Wilfred Owen Association ) 〕 The village school was built in 1848. It is now the village hall.〔(Eye & Dunsden Parish Council: The Village Hall )〕 In 2002 the Loddon Brewery was established in a converted 18th century brick and flint barn at Dunsden Green Farm.〔(The Loddon Brewery )〕 In November 2007 a new community orchard was established by the planting of a Blenheim Orange apple tree on the village green by Lord Phillimore, the main local landowner.〔(Eye & Dunsden Community Orchard )〕 The orchard will be beside the village green. 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「Dunsden Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
