Kirkby Malzeard 〔BBC Pronouncing Dictionary of British Names (1983), Oxford University Press ISBN 0-19-212976-7〕 is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. There has been a creamery in the village making Wensleydale cheese for almost 100 years, first owned by Mrs Mason, then Kit Calvert, of Hawes, subsequently the Milk Marketing Board and more recently it was acquired by the Wensleydale Creamery. 〔(Wensleydale Creamery: History and Heritage )〕 ==History== Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the village was mentioned in Domesday Book as ''Chirchebi'' (meaning "church village"). The suffix Malzeard (another place-name, meaning "bad clearing" in Norman French) was added by the early 12th century. In medieval times the honour of Kirkby Malzeard included large areas to the west of the village in upper Nidderdale, and the parish came to include several townships: *Azerley *Fountains Earth *Grewelthorpe *Hartwith cum Winsley (a detached part) *Laverton *Stonebeck Down *Stonebeck Up The townships became separate civil parishes in the 19th century.〔(Vision of Britain website )〕 The writer and historian William Grainge was born to a farming family in the village.〔(North Yorkshire County Council website )〕 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「Kirkby Malzeard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
