History

The name "Felley" means 'Wood/clearing with ploughed land'.^[2] Throughout its history the hamlet of Felley has been overshadowed by the Augustinian priory, Felley Priory. Therefore, few records of the secular settlement exist. Felley was an extra-parochial area, it became a civil parish in 1858.^[3]
