| Langley (also known as Langley Marish) is a village in the authority of Slough, Berkshire in South East England. The name "Marish" has no association with a marsh but is manorial in origin, the manor having been held by the family of Mareys or, in Latinised form, Marisco. Christine de Marisco held the manor of Langley on behalf of the Crown between 1282 and 1311 during the reign of Edward I. The village formed part of a much larger area known as Langley Marish. The area stretched from as far as Gerrards Cross down to Colnbrook. The meaning of the word Langley comes from two old English words Lang meaning Long and Leah meaning wood or clearing. The area was made up of a number of these so called clearings. The original clearings; Middle Green, Horsemoor Green, George Green, Sawyers Green and Shredding Green developed into small enclaves of housing and were eventually merged into one larger village centred around the church in St Mary’s Road. These clearings no longer exist, however have been adopted in street names or much smaller green fields. Langley village and these adjoining hamlets were part of the manor and parish of Wraysbury and was most noted for it’s ties to the crown lands at Langley Park. It remained in some degree of obscurity until the two were separated and Langley was given it’s own vicar. It was not until 1639 though, that a vicar actually began to reside in Langley itself, located in a vicarage at St Mary’s Church. The village’s move into prominence began when in 1547, the King, Edward VI installed at Langley Park his representative a Mr John Kedermister to take care of the his woodlands. Further development saw the village expand with the introduction of almshouses for the poor, set up firstly in 1617 by John Kedermister, by Henry Seymour in 1679-1687 and then by William Wild in 1839. Whittington cottages at the corner of Langley Road and St Mary’s Road created local housing and in 1830 Charles Depree set up a school just north of the Red Lion. |

| LANGLEY-MARISH, a village and a parish in Eton district, Bucks. The village stands near the Great Western railway, 3½ miles NE by E of Windsor; and has a station on the railway and a post-office under Slough, both of the name of Langley. The parish contains also part of Colnbrook; and b-ears the alternative name of St. Mary. Acres, 3,895. Real property, £11,408. Pop., 1,874. Houses, 393. The property is subdivided. The manor, with Langley Park, belonged to the Crown; was given, by Charles I., to Sir John Kederminster; and belongs now to R. ... B. Harvey, Esq. The present mansion was built, in 1755, by the second Duke of Marlborough; is a spacious edifice, in a finely-wooded park of about 360 acres; and contains a rich collection of pictures. The Black Park, on rising ground in the N, comprises 530 acres, and is almost wholly covered with firs. The living is a p. curacy, under the vicarage of Wyrardisbury, in the diocese of Oxford. Value and patron, not reported. The church has a nave partly Norman, a chancel and an aisle early decorated English, with two good early English windows, and a tower built by the Kederminsters in 1649. A small theological library was founded by Sir John Kederminster; is placed over the S porch; and is free to the clergymen of the county. Kederminster's alms-houses have £52 a-year from endowment; Seymour's alms-houses, £59; and other charities £132. There are a national school and two infant schools. LANGLEY, called in old writings LANGLEY-MARIES or MARYS, lies in the hundred of Stoke and deanery of Burnham, about two miles and a half to the north-west of Colnbrook, a part of which is in this parish. The manor came to the crown in the reign of Edward I. by reason of the minority of Ralph Plaiz, cousin and heir of Aveline Mountfichet, and though afterwards claimed by Elizabeth, Countess of Oxford, as heir of the said Ralph, was retained by the crown till the year 1447, when it was granted to Eton College. Having by some exchange, as is supposed, reverted to the crown, it was granted for life to Henry Norris, in 1523, and to John Duke of Northumberland, in 1564. In 1626, it was granted in fee to Sir John Kederminster, whose family had been long resident in the parish. His only daughter and heir married Sir John Parsons, of Boveney, whose son William, being then described as of Langley, was created a baronet in 1661, and was ancestor of the present Sir Mark Parsons Bart. of Epsom, in Surrey. The executors of Sir William Parsons, the first baronet, sold Langley in 1669, to Henry Seymour Esq. whose son of the same name was created a baronet in 1681. His cousin and heir, Sir Edward Seymour Bart. sold it in 1714 to Lord Masham, of whom it was purchased in 1738, by the late Duke of Marlborough. An act of parliament passed in 1755, for re-building the house at Langley-park; it is now the property and seat of Sir Robert Bateson Harvey Bart. who bought the park and manor in 1788, of the present Duke of Marlborough. The Duke of Somerset conveyed Parlaunt-park, in Langley, to Sir Thomas Heneage, in 1549. It has been mentioned under Iver, that the manor of Leving, alias Parlaunt-park, is partly in Iver, and partly in this parish: the house is in Langley. This estate was in the Pagets, and is now the property of Lord Boston. Sir Richard Hobart had a seat at Langley, to which his brother-in-law, Dr. Henry King, bishop of Chichester, retired during the protectorate of the Cromwell’s. Langley has a parochial chapel, (subject to the mother church of Wyardisbury,) in which are memorials of the family of Kederminster. The Kederminster aisle is separated from the knave by a Gothic screen, executed by Coade of Lambeth, and erected in 1792, at the expence of Sir R.B. Harvey. In this aisle is the monument of the late David Harvey Esq. who died in 1788, put up by his nephew, the present lord of the manor of Langley, who inherited a considerable part of his fortune, and has taken the name of Harvey in addition to that of Bateson. At the south end of this chapel, separated by an ancient screen, is a small library, consisting chiefly of books of divinity, left for public use, by Sir John Kederminster, with an express injunction that no book should ever be taken out of it. The great tithes, which belonged to the church of Windsor, were lately purchased under the act for the redemption of the land-tax, by Mr. Nash of Upton. They are subject to a payment of 20 l. per annum to the vicar. The dean and chapter are patrons of the vicarage. There are two alms-houses at Langley, one of them was founded by Sir John Kederminster for six poor persons, each of whom receives a weekly allowance of about two shillings and sixpence. The other alms-house was founded for two poor men and two women, by Henry Seymour Esq. whose nephew, Captain Henry Seymour, in 1733, bequeathed the sum of 200 l. to purchase lands for its better support. The alms-people in this house, who receive two shillings and six pence a week each, are appointed by trustees, of whom the vicar is one. There are three overseers for the parish of Langley, one for the district of Westmoor, one for Huntsmore, and one for Colnbrook. The north side of Colnbrook, excepting two houses, which are in Iver, is in this parish. This town, which lies on the Bath road, at the distance of 17 miles from London, takes its name from the small river Coln: it has been supposed by some to have been the Pontes of Antoninus. The town was incorporated in the year 1543, by the style of Bailiff and Burgesses: a market on Tuesdays, and two fairs, were granted by the same charter. Two other fairs were granted in 1613, and the town had a new charter of Incorporation in 1632. The market has been discontinued above twenty years: the fairs, which were held on Lady-day, St. Mark, St. James, and St. Simon and St. Jude, are now reduced to two, which are held on the 5th of April and 3rd of May. An ancient chantry chapel at Colnbrook, which continued to be used for divine service after the reformation, was endowed in 1682, by George Townsend Esq. with a moiety of the rents of certain tenements in Cradle-alley, Drury-lane. Mr. Townsend directs by his will, that the donative of this chapel shall be conferred, when void, on one of his exhibitioners at Pembroke College, in Oxford, who had been educated at Crypt school in Gloucester. The chapel was removed from its old site in Langley parish, about the year 1790, and rebuilt on the opposite side of the road in the parish of Horton. |
