Editing Langley, Berkshire (section)

==Governance==
Langley forms part of the [[unparished area]] of Slough. It therefore has no separate parish or community council, but is governed directly by [[Slough Borough Council]].

Langley was formerly a separate parish, also known as Langley Marish or Langley Marsh.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Page |first1=William |title=A History of the County of Buckingham, Volume 3 |date=1925 |publisher=Victoria County History |location=London |pages=294–301 |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/bucks/vol3/pp294-301 |access-date=5 June 2022}}</ref> From 1835 the parish formed part of the [[Eton, Berkshire|Eton]] [[Poor Law Union]]. When parish and district councils were established under the [[Local Government Act 1894]], the parish of Langley was given a parish council and was included in the [[Eton Rural District]]. Following significant development in the southern part of the parish adjoining Slough, the area south of the [[Grand Union Canal]] (including the parish church and old village centre of Langley), was transferred into the parish and [[Urban district (Great Britain and Ireland)|urban district]] of [[Municipal Borough of Slough|Slough]] on 1 April 1930. The residual, more rural, part of the parish north of the Grand Union Canal continued to be administered as a parish called Langley for another four years before being finally abolished, with most of the northern rural area being transferred into the parish of [[Wexham]] on 1 April 1934, and smaller areas being transferred at the same time to the parishes of [[Fulmer]] and [[Iver]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Langley Marish Civil Parish |url=https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10009650# |website=A Vision of Britain through Time |publisher=GB Historical GIS / University of Portsmouth |access-date=5 June 2022}}</ref> In 1931 the parish had a population of 1180.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10009650/cube/TOT_POP|title=Population statistics Langley Marish CP/Ch through time|publisher=[[A Vision of Britain through Time]]|accessdate=11 May 2024}}</ref>
