History of Shenley Brook End

The village name “Shenley” originates from an Old English Language word that means “bright clearing”. Furthermore, historians have discovered that the area was referred to as “Senelai” in the Domesday Book of 1086. The construction of the Mansell family manor in Shenley Brook End created the distinction between Brook End and the Church End in the 12th century. However, by the end of 1426, one person became the sole owner of the two manors, leaving the distinction between the two places only in name.

The Shenleys

Shenley Church End

It is home to Shenley Toot, a 13th century motte and bailey which was originally the home of the Earl of Chester. Today, ‘Shenley Toot’ is now a scheduled ancient monument. It is also home to the Shenley Church End Cricket Club.

Shenley Wood

is composed primarily of ash and oak trees. It is an excellent place to hold picnics as it is equipped with tables, seats, and benches. Shenley Wood is owned and maintained by The Parks Trust. The most popular activities at Shenley Wood include guided walks and listening for the dawn chorus.

Shenley Lodge

sits in the village of Shenley Church End. It is within walking distance from the centre of Milton Keynes, which gives the property the impression of it being in the middle of the rural countryside, and achieves ‘the best of both worlds’.
