It has a population of 3,377.〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Wakefield'' ) Retrieved 2009-09-12〕 The village lies on the Barnsley Canal and is home to Walton Hall, once the residence of Charles Waterton, the naturalist and explorer who, in 1820, transformed the grounds of the Walton Hall estate into England's first nature reserve. Nearby, the site of the now demolished Sharlston West colliery, has been transformed into another nature reserve. Large lakes were constructed when the reserve was landscaped in the mid-1990s and the excavated earth was then used to cover the colliery's vast spoil heaps. The village also contains a small park, a tennis club, football and rugby pitches, a newly renovated public house and a sports and social club. Walton was the site of the small colliery, originally named ''Sharlston West'' and later renamed ''Walton''. It was the site of an explosion on 22 April 1959 that killed five men.〔(Report on the Causes of, and Circumstances attending, the Explosion which occurred at Walton Colliery, Yorkshire, on 22nd April, 1959 ), Durham Mining Museum〕 The pit closed in the early 1980s, having been saved from closure several times by industrial action. In 1977 it was reported to require investment of £5 million to open new faces, which was rejected by the Coal Board, but Arthur Scargill refused to accept the closure of a pit where the coal was not yet exhausted. ==Name== The village was recorded in the ''Domesday Book'' (c1086) as ''Waleton'', but from c650 - 830, it was known as ''Weala-tun'', a name which means 'Welshman's Village'. This suggests a settlement of native British people was established well before the Saxons arrived during the 7th century. During the Norman dynasty, the village was recorded as ''Waton'', but since the Middle Ages (c1154) to the present day, the village has held its current name of ''Walton''. 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「Walton, Wakefield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
