Farnley is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England, near Otley, West Yorkshire.

To the south of the village lies Farnley Hall, a stately home built by John Carr. The house has a rich history, being associated with names such as Fairfax, Cromwell, and Turner.〔(Description of Farnley Hall in Images of England database )〕 A selection of Turner's works from the Farnley Hall collection were sold in 1890 for £25,000.〔''Yorkshire Rivers: The Washburn'', by Tom Bradley (published 1895, reprinted 1988, Old Hall Press.)〕 The primary school in Farnley is occasionally used as a location for filming the soap opera ''Emmerdale''. When found as a surname the most popular is Fearnley; other surnames related to the area are Farnely, Farnley and Fernleigh. ==References== 〔 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「Farnley, North Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
