Ackhampsteadとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Ackhampstead (literally 'oak homestead' in Old English) or 'Moor End' was an ancient township (or chapelry) in the Chiltern Hills, south of Lane End. Until 1844 it was a detached part of Oxfordshire in the parish of Lewknor, part of a division of the parish known as Lewknor Uphill consisting of three detached parts. It was transferred to Buckinghamshire by the Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844. By the mid-nineteenth century the population of the community was negligible. The Bishop of Oxford demolished its medieval chapel and replaced it with a new church at Cadmore End. In 1885 the division of Lewknor Uphill was dismembered. Ackhampstead was transferred to the parish of Great Marlow for ecclesiastical purposes, and became part of the civil parish of Great Marlow in 1895. In 1934 it became part of the civil parish of Fingest, renamed Fingest and Lane End in 1937, now Lane End.
