Shoreham-by-Sea (often shortened to Shoreham) is a seaside town and port in West Sussex, England. The town has a population of approximately 48,487 according to the 2011 census, and is historically part of Sussex. The town is bordered to its north by the South Downs, to its west by the Adur Valley and to its south by the River Adur and Shoreham Beach on the English Channel. The town lies in the middle of the ribbon of urban development along the English south coast between the city of Brighton and Hove and the town of Worthing. Shoreham civil parish covers an area of and has a population of 19,175 (2001 census). == History == Old Shoreham dates back to pre-Roman times.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= 'Old and New Shoreham', A History of the County of Sussex: Volume 6 Part 1: Bramber Rape (Southern Part) pp. 138-149 )〕 St Nicolas' Church, inland by the River Adur, is partly Anglo-Saxon〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= St Nicolas, Shoreham-by-Sea – West Sussex | Diocese of Chichester )〕 The name of the town has an Old English origin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shoreham: Toponymy )〕 The town and port of New Shoreham was established by the Norman conquerors towards the end of the 11th century. St Mary de Haura Church (St Mary of the Haven) was built in the decade following 1103 (the Domesday Book was dated 1086), and around this time the town was laid out on a grid pattern that, in essence, survives in the town centre. The church is only half the size of the original – the former nave was ruinous at the time of the civil war although remnants of the original west façade survive in the churchyard to some height. The severe storms of the 14th and 15th centuries wreaked much damage along this part of the south coast. The growth of neighbouring Brighton, Hove and Worthing – in particular the arrival of the railway in 1840 – prepared the way for Shoreham's rise as a Victorian sea port, with several shipyards and an active coasting trade. Shoreham Harbour remains in commercial operation to this day. Southdown Golf Club, Shoreham-by-Sea, (now defunct) was founded in 1902. The club disappeared in the 1950s.〔(“Southdown Golf Club” ), “Golf’s Missing Links”.〕 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「Shoreham-by-Sea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
