Hughley, Shropshire
Hughley () is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, about south-west of Much Wenlock.
It lies in the south Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The limestone escarpment Wenlock Edge is about south-east, and the parish lies on Wenlock Shale. Hughley Brook, which runs north-east along the western edge of the village, is the parish border with Church Preen (to the west of Hughley) and Kenley (to the north).〔(A P Baggs, G C Baugh, D C Cox, Jessie McFall and P A Stamper, 'Hughley', in ''A History of the County of Shropshire: Volume 10, Munslow Hundred (Part), the Liberty and Borough of Wenlock'', ed. C R J Currie (London, 1998), pp. 337-347 ) British History Online, accessed 18 March 2015.〕
==History==
The village was known in medieval times as ''Legh'', ''Leye'' or ''Lee'', and the lords of the manor took its name. They are thought to be descendants of Aelfric, father of Eadric of Wenlock who was probably Eadric the Wild, an important figure at the time of the Norman Conquest. It is thought that the village acquired its distinguishing name by the end of the 13th century, after Hugh of Lee, who became lord of the manor in 1225 and died between 1271 and 1283.〔
In the late 18th century most houses in Hughley were still timber-framed; later, houses were built or rebuilt with locally made brick. The resulting appearance of the village was distinct from the stone-built houses of upland settlements in the area. It is thought the parish has never had a pub.〔
