Langley is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Langelai, a settlement that was home to 19 families. The area was inhabited since the early days thanks to easy access to water. In the 19th century, archaeologist Sir John Evans discovered the first evidence of human occupation in the area from earlier times. In the 11th century, Ethelwine the Black gave the upper part of this WD5 area to St Albans Abbey. That’s how it came to be known as Langlai Abbatis. The area comprised of four manors.
