Tywardreath ((コーンウォール語:Ti War Dreth), meaning ''manorial centre on a beach''〔Weatherhill, Craig. ''A Concise Dictionary of Cornish Place-names'', 2009.〕) is a small hilltop village in southern Cornwall, England, UK. about north west of Fowey. It is located in a sheltered spot overlooking a silted up estuary opposite Par and near the beach of Par Sands. It sits on the Saints' Way trail. Tywardreath translates from the Cornish language as a ''manorial centre on a beach'', or ''House on the Strand'', and was featured by Daphne du Maurier in her novel ''The House on the Strand''. Although a fictional tale of drug-induced time-travel, the history and geography of the area was carefully researched by du Maurier who lived in a house called Kilmarth ((コーンウォール語:Kilmergh), meaning ''horses' ridge''), to the south. The seal of the borough of Tywardreath was a Shield of Arms a saltire between four fleurs-de-lis, with the legend "Tywardreath". Tywardreath was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was one of 28 manors held by Richard from Robert, Count of Mortain. There were 2 hides of land and land for 12 ploughs. One virgate of land was held by Richard with 4 ploughs and 7 serfs; 8 villeins and 18 smallholders had the rest of the land with 3 ploughs. There were 6 acres of woodland and 100 acres of pasture. The manor was valued at £2 sterling though it had formerly been worth £4.〔Thorn, C. et al. (1979) ''Cornwall''. Chichester: Phillimore; entry 5,3,8〕 Although the civil parish is shown under Tywardreath and Par there is an electoral ward (which also includes Par) shown under the name of ''Tywardreath'' only. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,897. ==Tywardreath Priory== The settlement grew out of a Benedictine priory established at around the time of the Norman conquest. It was dissolved in 1540 and many of the better stones are reputed to have been shipped to its parent monastery at Angers in France. 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「Tywardreath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
