Flixborough is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated near to the River Trent, approximately north-west from Scunthorpe. The village is noted for the 1974 Flixborough disaster. Flixborough is in the Burton upon Stather and Winterton ward of North Lincolnshire Council, and its civil parish boundary covers the southern part of Normanby Park. Its Grade II listed Anglican church, part of the Burton upon Stather Group of churches, is dedicated to All Saints. The village public house is The Flixborough Inn on High Street.〔("The Flixborough Inn" ), geograph.org.uk. Retrieved 30 July 2011〕 ==History== Flixborough has had many different spellings through the centuries, from "Flichesburg" in the ''Domesday Book'' to Flikesburg, Flyxburgh and Flixburrow. Eminson suggests that the first part of the name is an early form of the word ''cliff'', and as the original settlement stood on a sloping cliff overlooking the River Trent, the village's name can be translated as "fortified dwelling on the cliff slope".〔Eminson, T.B.F. ''Place and River Names of the West Riding of Lindsey, Lincolnshire''. and Mills, A.D. ''A Dictionary of English Place Names''.〕 The remains of an Anglo-Saxon settlement in the parish of Flixborough were excavated by Humberside Archaeology Unit between 1989 and 1991.〔(Hull City Council: Humber field archaeology )〕 The settlement was located to the south of the Humber Estuary, overlooking the floodplain of the Trent. During the two-year programme, an unprecedented Middle to Late Saxon rural settlement sequence was uncovered, dating between the early 7th and early 11th centuries AD. It is particularly exceptional because of the association of 40 buildings, floor surfaces and massive refuse dumps.〔Loveluck, C.P. and Dobney, K.M., 1998: "Flixborough", in S. Ellis and R.

Flixborough is one of the Thankful Villages that suffered no fatalities during the First World War. 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「Flixborough」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
