Langley is a small village in the civil parish of Fawley in Hampshire, England.

History

The name Langley means "long wood/clearing".

messuage and land in South Langley.^[3] Thence the tenement passed indirectly to Richard Goolde and his wife Joan in 1413.^[3] John Ludlowe held the land in 1482.^[3] In 1500 the right of the Ludlowes to hold the manor (here so-called for the first time) was fiercely disputed in the Court of Chancery by one William Fletcher.^[3] The Ludlowes evidently won, for in 1609 Sir Edward Ludlowe sold the manor of Langley to Sir Walter Longe.^[3] This united the manor of Langley to the manors of Cadlands (now beneath Fawley Refinery) and Holbury, all three following the same descent henceforward.^[3] One part of the merged estate eventually became Langley Farm held by the Stanley family at the beginning of the 20th century.^[3]

The modern village now lies on the site of the old manor house.[4] At the beginning of the 20th century Langley and Fawley were the only two villages in the parish.^[3] With the growth of the village of Blackfield the ward is now referred to as the Fawley, Blackfield, and Langley Ward.
