Waters Upton is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. The population of the Civil Parish at the 2011 Census was 951.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil Parish population 2011 )〕 It was recorded in the Domesday book as "Uptone", when it was stated to be tenanted by a "Seuuard", and to have been held by a man called "Gamel" before the Conquest.〔Anderson, John Corbet. ''Shropshire: its early history and antiquities'', Willis and Sotheran, 1864, p.153〕 At the time of the survey it contained 3 ox-teams, 4 neat-herds, 4 villeins, 1 boor and 1 radman, and a mill of 12s. 1d. annual value.〔 In a reversal of the usual order seen in the naming of places and landowning families, it became known as Waters Upton after an early landowner, Walter Fitzjohn. The civil parish, which had a total population of 873 at the 2001 census,〔(Waters Upton CP ), ONS〕 also includes the villages of Great Bolas and Crudgington. The village is just off the A442 and has a church,〔(A church near you )〕 two pubs (the ''Lion'' and ''The Swan'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shropshire Pub Survey ) Waters Upton pubs〕 as well as a post office.〔(Waters Upton Post Office )〕 On 12 April 2010, a dominatrix named Sophie Allen caused outrage by using the seemingly innocent village hall as a sex den.〔(The Telegraph on Sophie Allen )〕 She would charge up to £150 an hour for her services. After this outrage hit local, as well as national newspapers, villagers complained bitterly to their local parish council who set up new regulations regarding who could and who could not rent the village hall. ==References== 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「Waters Upton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
