Mellor, Derbyshire
Mellor is a village in the Stockport district, in Greater Manchester, England; it lies between Marple Bridge and New Mills in Derbyshire. It was a civil parish in the county of Derbyshire until 1936, when it was transferred to Cheshire. In 1974, it became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, in Greater Manchester. Etymology The name ''Mellor'' is first attested in the thirteenth century, in the forms '' Melver'' and ''Meluer''. Its origin lies in the Common Brittonic words which survive in modern Welsh as ("bare") and ("hill"). Thus the name once meant "the bare hill". History The name ''Mellor'' does not appear in the Norman-era Domesday Book, although the neighbouring settlement of Ludworth (recorded as ''Lodeuorde'') is listed. It is possible that Ludworth originally included Mellor and that they split into two distinct areas at a later date. The Saxons built a church at the southernmost end of the Iron Age settlement at some point in the 7th or 8th centuries. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cricketers From Greater Manchester
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field, at the centre of which is a pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails (small sticks) balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these swaps. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodges the bails), and by the fielding side either catch ...

People From Mellor, Greater Manchester
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
