The Shelsleys is a civil parish in the Malvern Hills District in the county of Worcestershire, England. The Shelsleys are near the village of Clifton-upon-Teme the Teme Vally, and they encompass the three very distinct hamlets Shelsley Beauchamp, Shelsley Kings and Shelsley Walsh. Shelsley means "clearing on a slope" from Old English scelf "shelf (of land)" and leāh "wood, clearing". The name was recorded as ''Scillislege'' in 948. Charles Nott, the Parson of Shelsley, was a leader of the Clubmen who drew up the Woodbury Declaration, which listed the greviences that local people had at the behaviour of Royalist forces in the area. Following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 the Shelsleys Parish ceased to be responsible for maintaining the poor in its parish. This responsibility was transferred to Martley Poor Law Union. == Shelsley Beauchamp == Shelsley Beauchamp is the larger of the three hamlets in the combined parish of Shelseys.
