Ludford is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The parish is composed of the villages of Ludford Magna and Ludford Parva. ==History== Former deserted villages that are part of the parish were wiped out by the Black Death. In 1885 ''Kelly's Directory'' noted the two separate settlements and parishes of Ludford Magna and Ludford Parva, both using the Church of SS Mary and Peter at Magna, a previous church at Parva showing no remains. The rebuilt church is described as containing a chancel, nave, transepts, a turret with one bell, and a south porch. A "handsome" stained glass window had been placed in the church by the inhabitants of the village in memory of a former rector. The living was combined with that of Parva, with the church register dating from 1696. Parva contained a Wesleyan and a Free Methodist chapel. A National School at Magna, built in 1853 and enlarged in 1874, held 150 children, with an average attendance of 130. The land of both parishes was described as heavy, and mixed with flint and chalk. Parish area for Magna was , and that for Parva, , chief crops grown being wheat, barley, oats and turnips. The 1881 population for Magna was 390, and for Parva, 341.〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, p. 567,568〕 Principal landowners were Edward Heneage MP, JP, DL, and Admiral Edwin Tennyson d'Eyncourt CB. Magna occupations in 1885 were two farmers, a tailor, a publican at the White Hart public house, and a miller at a combined wind and steam mill. Parva occupations were three farmers, a market gardener, two shopkeepers, two saddle & harness makers, a publican at the Black Horse public house, two bricklayers, a butcher, a carrier, a blacksmith, a boot & shoe maker, a joiner & wheelwright, and a grocer & draper who also ran the post office.〔 Ludford primary school was built as Ludford National School, and had become Ludford Church of England Primary School in 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the School )〕 The primary school was one of a few in the country to be involved with the ''Science and Technology through Educational Links with Amateur Radio'' education charity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=STELAR: An Educational Charity )〕 The school was closed in 2009 because of declining pupil numbers, and after a local campaign to prevent closure was unsuccessful. Montagu C. Allwood and his brothers, who grew up in a farming family in the village, moved to south of Burgess Hill in Sussex to build a plant nursery, which is now the largest retailer of carnation plants in the world. At the time the Allwoods lived in the village, the population was twice that of now. 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「Ludford, Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
