History

The name Langley means "long wood/clearing". [1] Langley is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was held by Hugh of St Quentin. [2] In 1372 John Baron of South Langley and Julia his wife held a 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.
