Stratford St Andrew is a small village and a civil parish just off the A12 road, in the Suffolk Coastal District, in the English county of Suffolk. It is located 3 miles south west of Saxmundham, which is the nearest town to the village. It had a population of 185 according to the 2011 census. == History == Stratford St Andrew has the origins of its name traced back to a combination of Anglican and Old English. It translates as, 'Ford on a Roman road', with this being a later affix from the church dedication.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Suffolk/Stratford%20St%20Andrew )〕 In the Domesday book of 1086, Stratford St Andrew was situated in the Plomesgate district, under the ownership of Walter Giffard, whom was recorded as the Tenant-in-chief. The value of the land to the Lord, Ralph of Lanquetot, was said to be £2.4.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Andrew )">url=http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TM3560/stratford-st-andrew/ )〕 The village was recorded as having 25 households, containing 5 smallholders and 13.5 free men. The Domesday records also state that there was a 4-acre meadow, along with a single mill. In terms of livestock it is reported that there were 2 cattle, 15 pigs, 30 sheep and 27 goats in 1086.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TM3560/stratford-st-andrew/ )〕 Stratford St Andrew was given its name because Suffolk has two Stratfords. The other Stratford, titled Stratford St Mary, is located 30 miles down the A12 and is of no direct relation. In the 1870s, Stratford St Andrew was described as: :"a parish in Plomesgate district, Suffolk; 3 miles SW of Saxmundham r. station.Real property, £1,373. Pop., 181. Houses, 43. The manor belongs to Earl Guilford." Up until the early 21st century, the village had a church, this church representing the Church of England faith. However in 1992, the church was declared redundant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://farnhamwithstratfordstandrew.onesuffolk.net/st-mary-s-church-farnham/ )〕 The church was first noted as being run down in the 1970s, when it was described as: :"dully Victorian, a middle-brow lukewarm ritualist restoration from the 1870s." It was also described as having smashed windows, rusty hooks and an old open chest simply abandoned on the floor. The vestry door was said to be hanging off on its hinges. The church had been founded in 1692 and was dedicated to St. Andrew. Ranulph do Glanville, the famous justiciary of England during the reign of Henry II, was born in Stratford St Andrew. The village sign for Stratford St Andrew shows the mill, of which little now remains. Whilst the black swan, which can be seen on the sign, is a reminder of a coaching inn, named the 'Black Swan'. This inn no longer exists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://farnhamwithstratfordstandrew.onesuffolk.net/history/ )〕 The coat of arms for the village reads: :"confide recte agens."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://farnhamwithstratfordstandrew.onesuffolk.net/history/ )〕 This translates as 'doing rightly, be confident.'〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://farnhamwithstratfordstandrew.onesuffolk.net/history/ )〕 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「Stratford St Andrew」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
