Kingsley is a civil parish and a village in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is approximately 5 miles south east of the town of Frodsham. The village is home to two primary schools – Kingsley St John's Church of England Primary School, and Kingsley Community Primary School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St John's primary school )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kingsley Community primary school )〕 == History == Kingsley is first listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Chingeslie" in the Roelau Hundred. The village is listed as having been held from Earl Hugh d'Avranches by a Saxon named Dunning. It has land for two ploughs, and home to five serfs, one villein, and three bordars. It also mentioned one and a half fisheries, four hays for roe deer, and a hawk's eyrie. The earl brought the woodland of one league long and one league wide into his forest.〔Gibson, W., and Waterworth, A. W. (1975). page 109.〕 The forest mentioned was the ancient forest of Mara and Mondrem which was greatly reduced in size subsequently and is now known as Delamere Forest. In 1260, the village was listed as "Kingisleg". The name of the village ultimately derives from "king's lea" – the meadow of the king.〔Scholes, R. (2000). pages 96–97.〕 The village was for a long time known for its independence, as shown in its early Quaker meeting house, as well as its siding with the Parliamentarians during the English Civil 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「Kingsley, Cheshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
