Editing Langley, Berkshire (section)

==Etymology==
The place-name Langley derives from the [[Middle English]] word ''[[wikt:lang#Etymology 2|lang]]'', meaning long, and ''[[wikt:lea#Etymology 1|lea]]'', a wood or clearing. Langley was formed of a number of [[Glade (geography)|clearings]]: George Green, Horsemoor Green, Middle Green, Sawyers Green and Shreding Green. They became the sites for housing which merged into one village centred on the parish church in St Mary's Road. The clearings are remembered in the names of streets or smaller green fields.

''Marish'' or ''Maries'' commemorates Christiana de Marecis who held the manor for a short time in the reign of [[Edward I of England|Edward I]].<ref name="Marish">[http://www.langleyvillage.co.uk/history.htm Langley Village history] {{cite book |first=James John |last=Hornby |year=1895 |title=Walks Round About Eton |page=18}}</ref>
