Kexby is a small village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies at the side of the B1241 road, and is situated south-east of Gainsborough and north-west of the city and county town of Lincoln. ==History== The earliest records for the village of Kexby can be found in the Domesday Book, which dates back to 1086. According to these reports, the village went by the name of Cheftesbi/Chestesbi.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Details?uri=D7314676 )〕 These records also highlight that Kexby was home to 21 households which was condisered to be a relatively large number at this time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/SK8785/kexby/ )〕 This point is backed up by the fact that in 1086, Kexby was the third largest settlement in the hundred of Well. This was out of the 15 settlements in the area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://domesdaymap.co.uk/hundred/well/ )〕 Although Kexby is a separate village and parish council, it is served by the church in the neighbouring village and parish council of Upton. The church register in Upton, which include reports for Kexby, dates back to 1563.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/Upton/ )〕 However, there is evidence that the Church of All Saints dates back much further, with parts of the chancel walls believed to date back to before the Norman Conquest of 1066.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/VenueDetails.aspx?venuecode=23343 )〕 In the 1870s, the village of Kexby was described as: "a township in Upton parish, Lincoln; 3 miles N of Marton r. station, and 5 SE of Gainsborough. Acres, 1, 540. Real property, £2, 215. Pop., 272. Houses, 61. The manor belongs to W. Hutton, Esq. There are chapels for Primitive Methodists and U. Free Methodists." The parish boundaries have not changed in Kexby since the 19th century. The parish forms a long horizontal shape, stretching from Heaton's Wood in the East to Kexby Grange in the West.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10427400/boundary )〕 However, in the earlier reference from the 1870s, Kexby was described as being "a township in Upton parish"; as of today, this is not correct. In 1894, the government passed an act concerning parishes, creaing 14,000 of them. We can only presume that this was when Kexby became independent from Upton parish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jimella.me.uk/counties.cfm#parish )〕 Occupational statistics are available for Kexby in 1881. For men, the dominant employer was agriculture, with 53 working in this sector, over 60% of the male population at the time. These statistics also show that 9 women were employed as indoor domestic servants, possibly at the manor house owned by W.Hutton, highlighting the unequal nature of the workplace in the Victorian period. For a small village, Kexby was well supplied, as the occupational statistics state that the village was home to a bakery, a butchers and a grocery store.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/census/table_page.jsp?tab_id=EW1881AGE_M10&u_id=10427400&show=DB )〕 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「Kexby, Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
