Southstoke is a small village and civil parish in north east Somerset, England. In 2004 the parish council requested that the name be formally changed to South Stoke, as "this is historically the more established spelling (rather than the single word spelling Southstoke) and better reflects the origin and meaning of the Parish name."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= South Stoke Parish — change of name )〕 It is south of the city of Bath, on the River Avon and the route of the disused Somerset Coal Canal. The village provides views over the surrounding area and is the starting point for country walks. A popular route is to visit other villages and their pubs in the area, such as Combe Hay and Midford. Southstoke is a designated Conservation Area as identified by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. The buildings are mainly cream oolitic limestone 〔Somerville, Christopher. ''A good walk Southstoke and Cam Valley, Somerset'', The Times, 2 January 2010:〕 and there are 27 〔http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/results.aspx?index=26〕 listed structures in and around the immediate village which has retained much of its original character and historic appeal. ==History== Southstoke was part of the hundred of Bath Forum.〔http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/results.aspx?index=26〕 In the 19th century a mine extracting Fuller's earth was dug close to the line of the Wansdyke. It closed before 1902. 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「Southstoke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
