Westley Waterless is a small village and civil parish in East Cambridgeshire, England, 5 miles south west of Newmarket. ==History== The parish of Westley Waterless is long and thin covering 1150 acres between the ancient Icknield Way at its north west end (now the A1304), to the village of Burrough Green at the south east. It is wedged between the parishes of Burrough Green to the north and east (with the border following Westley Bottom Road), from which it was apparently carved, and Brinkley to the south. It has a short border with Bottisham at its north west tip. The site of the present village seems to have been occupied since the 10th century. A leaden vessel filled with tools dating from prior to the Norman Conquest has been found. Thirteen inhabitants were recorded at the time of the Domesday Book. The population reached its peak of 214 in 1851.〔 Listed as ''Westle'' in around 1045, ''Weslai'' in the Domesday Book and ''Westle Waterles'' in 1285, the name "Westley" means "westerly wood or clearing", and the "waterless" comes from the Old English "water + leas" meaning "wet clearings".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Dictionary of British Place-Names )〕
