Kenley is a small village and civil parish in the English county of Shropshire. It is located in remote countryside, atop a ridge at around above sea level. It is near the larger villages of Acton Burnell, about three miles to the north-west, and Harley, about two miles to the east. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 258.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil Parish population 2011 )〕 The name is probably formed from the Old English personal name ''Cenna'' with ''-ley'', meaning a clearing in a wood.〔Raven, M. ''A Guide to Shropshire'', 2005, p.102〕 To the west are the hamlets of Ruckley and Langley, which form a separate civil parish. The historian Archibald Alison and statistician William Farr were born in Kenley. ==Notable People== *Archibald Alison, (1757-1839), Scots essayist, onetime parish rector. *Sir Archibald Alison, 1st Baronet, (1792-1867), historian and advocate, his son *William Farr, (1807-1883), statistician 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「Kenley, Shropshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
