A bit of background info

Strelley Hall is an attractive period building set in parkland in the splendidly preserved Strelley village, about 4 miles to the north west of Nottingham. Strelley Hall was originally built as a castle about 1200 AD and has been modified substantially in the early and late 18th century and again in the 19th century.

The history of Strelley Village stretches over nine centuries and for most of that time was under the ownership of the Strelley and then the Edge Families. The village is almost certainly of Anglo-Saxon origin and its name is derived from the old English ‘straet', meaning a road and ‘leah', which is a clearing.

The village was first inhabited by a group of fierce barbarians. These were followed by peaceful farmers who slipped into the ‘Lord of the Manor' feudal system. During the medieval system it was the de Stradleys or de Strelleys who were the Lords and in 1356 Sir Sampson de Strelley ordered the building of the present church. 1675 saw the village passing to the Edge family in whose possession it remained until 1978.
