Arley Parish covers Old Arley, New Arley, Spring Hill and Hilltop. It is a great place to live and work and is steeped in history. We recommend having a look at our walks and neighbourhood plan to really appreciate everything this area has to offer. To give an idea of the history, and just how far back we go,
Arley is mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086; it was called ‘Arei’ and was one of a number of hamlets in the parish. Sometime later the stone church of St Wilfrids was built, indicating that what is now Old Arley was the centre of the settlement.
