Kings Langley
Kings Langley is a historical town as well as civil parish in Hertfordshire, England, 21 miles (34 km) northwest of central London to the south of the Chiltern Hills and also currently part of the London commuter belt. The village is separated between 2 city government areas by the River Gade with the larger western section in the Borough of Dacorum as well as smaller component, to the eastern of the river, in 3 Rivers Area. It was as soon as the location of Kings Langley Palace, an imperial palace of the Plantagenet kings of England. The 12th century parish church of All Saints' homes the burial place of Edmund of Langley (1341-- 1402), the first Duke of York. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Hemel Hempstead and 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) north of Watford. The place-name Langley is first attested here in a Saxon charter of circa 1050, where it looks like Langalega. It is spelt Langelai in the Domesday Book of 1086, and is recorded as Langel' Regis in 1254. The name implies 'lengthy timber or clearing'.
