Hundley

The Noble Tribe of Hundley represented here by Lord Thomas, Seneschal of Hundley. Hundley is a name that was brought to England by the ancestors of the Hundley family when they migrated to the region after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The Hundley family lived in Handley, Hampshire. The name was local in nature, and was originally derived from the Old English words heah, which meant high, and leah, which meant wood. Another derivation indicates that the name is a corruption of the Norman place-name Andeli which was brought over after the Conquest in 1066. [1] And yet another source claims the name was derived from Hanley, parishes in Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Lincolnshire.
