Kings Langley
Kings Langley is a historical village as well as civil parish in Hertfordshire, England, 21 miles (34 kilometres) northwest of central London to the south of the Chiltern Hills as well as currently part of the London commuter belt. The village is divided in between 2 local government areas by the River Gade with the larger western section in the Borough of Dacorum as well as smaller sized part, to the eastern of the river, in Three 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 kilometres) south of Hemel Hempstead as well as 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Watford. The place-name Langley is first proven here in a Saxon charter of circa 1050, where it appears as Langalega. It is meant Langelai in the Domesday Book of 1086, as well as is recorded as Langel' Regis in 1254. The name implies 'long wood or clearing up'.
