Quidhampton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It forms part of the Salisbury urban area and is around west of the city centre. The parish adjoins Wilton to the west, the unparished area of Salisbury to the north and east, and Netherhampton to the south. The village is on the River Nadder and is close to the A36 road between Salisbury and Wilton. The name Quidhampton probably means "muddy home farm" or "home farm with good manure", from the Old English ''cwéad'' (dung, dirt) + ''hām-tūn''.〔Mills, A.D: ''A Dictionary of English Place-Names'', page 266. Oxford University Press, 1991.〕 ==Local government== The civil parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions. Until 1894, Quidhampton was a tithing of Fugglestone St Peter, and it then formed part of the new parish of Bemerton until it was established as a parish in its own right in 1934. 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「Quidhampton, Wiltshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
