Shenley Church End is a village, district and civil parish in Milton Keynes England.〔(Parishes in Milton Keynes ) - Milton Keynes Council.〕 Together with its neighbouring parish, Shenley Brook End and the districts of Shenley Wood and Shenley Lodge, the districts are collectively known as "The Shenleys". ==History== The village name 'Shenley' is an Old English language word meaning 'bright clearing'. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the area was collectively known as ''Senelai''.〔('Parishes : Shenley', A History of the County of Buckingham: Volume 4 (1927), pp. 445-451. ) Victoria History of the Counties of England〕 The distinction between the Brook End and the Church End happened in the 12th century when a new manor house was constructed in Shenley Brook End by the Mansell family. However by 1426 the two manors were owned by the same person and the distinction between the two places was in name only. Shenley Church End is also home to the Shenley Toot, a 13th-century motte and bailey (of which only the motte remains), which was originally a home of the Earl of Chester and is now a scheduled ancient monument.〔(Shenley Wood ) - Milton Keynes Parks Trust〕 Today, the historic village is the core of the new district that bears its name. The district is bounded by V3 Fulmer Street, V4 Watling Street, H5 Portway and H6 Childs Way. 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「Shenley Church End」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
