Octon is a hamlet, and shrunken medieval village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. ==History== Octon is recorded in the 11th-century ''Domesday Book'' as "Ocheton". The village contained a chapel dedicated to St. Michael (noted in 1327). After around 1400 no records exist relating to the chapel, and the village is thought likely to have been depopulated as a result of the Black Death. By the 19th century the village was reduced to a small farming hamlet. In 1823 three farmers and a gamekeeper were recorded as resident in Octon, with a further two farmers at Octon Grange just over to the north. The extent of the hamlet remained unexpanded throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.〔Ordnance Survey. 1854, 1892, 1912–3, 1952–3, 1972–83. 1:10560 and 1:10000〕 The modern village is at the same location as the reduced medieval village; earthworks of the medieval church and village were scheduled as an ancient monument in 1994. The 'Old farmhouse' at Glebe farm, Octon, a cruck framed longhouse dating from the 17th century is a Grade II * listed building. 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「Octon, East Riding of Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
