Manaccan ((コーンウォール語:Manahan))〔(Place-names in the Standard Written Form (SWF) ) : (List of place-names agreed by the MAGA Signage Panel ). Cornish Language Partnership.〕 is a civil parish and village on the Lizard peninsula in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is about five miles (8 km) south-southwest of Falmouth.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕 Manaccan parish is in a district known as Meneage which means 'land of the monks', a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish is bordered to the north by the Helford River (a drowned river valley or ria), to the west by St Martin-in-Meneage parish, to the south by St Keverne parish, and to the east by St Anthony-in-Meneage parish. The origin of the name Manaccan is probably derived not from a saint but from the Cornish for (church) of the monks. It was also at times called Minster in English because it must once have had a Celtic monastery. "St Manacca" is recorded as the patron as early as 1308.〔Cornish Church Guide (1925) Truro: Blackford; pp. 152-53〕 The population of Manaccan was 299 in the 2001 census,〔() GENUKI website; Manaccan; retrieved April 2010〕which increased to 321 in the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 Manaccan lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. ==Buildings and antiquities== The parish church is dedicated to St Mannacus and St Dunstan (early records have St Manacca). There was a Norman church here and fragments of it remain; the doorway is one of the best specimens of Norman entrances in Cornwall.〔() GENUKI website; Manaccan; retrieved April 2010〕 The rest of the structure is of the 13th and 15th centuries. The west tower is built of slate.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) ''Cornwall''; 2nd ed. Penguin Books; pp. 112-13〕 The church is well known for a large and flourishing fig-tree which is growing out of the western part of the south wall of the church. It has been there for at least 250 years.〔() GENUKI website; Manaccan; retrieved May 2010〕 Boden Vean Fogou was rediscovered by a local farmer in the 1990s and was excavated by archaeologists in 2003〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Higher Boden Fogou )〕 and in September and October 2008. 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「Manaccan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
