Shelley, sometimes known as Shelley Woodhouse, had a population of 3,059 according to the 2001 census.[1]

Within the village is Shelley Hall, which dates to the 17th century, and is a Grade II* listed building.[2]

Shelley has two places of worship. Shelley Methodist Church, off Far Bank at the west of the village, is a Grade II listed building dating to 1785–6, originally a Methodist New Connexion chapel.[3][4] The Church of England's Gothic Revival Church of Emmanuel is on Huddersfield Road at the east of the village.[5] The church, built in 1868, is a Grade II listed building.[6] A United Reformed Church on Water Lane is today closed.

The village has three public houses, The Rising Sun, The Flying Ferret (formerly Oddfellows) and Shelley Sports and Social Club. The Emley Moor TV mast is northeast from the village.

Shelley won the Calor Yorkshire and Northern Village of the Year award in 2004,[7][8] following winning the earlier round for 'Yorkshire's small village of the year' promoted by the Yorkshire Rural Community Council.[9]

Barncliffe Mill at Brookhouse, former home to Shelley Textiles, became the headquarters for Whitley Willows Ltd after the closure of the Lepton mill.[10]

Education

Shelley has a primary school which teaches children from Reception to Year 5. Next to the school in a prefabricated building is a pre-school and out-of-school club.

Shelley College is within the parish at the east and at the border with the parish of Denby Dale. It teaches pupils who live in both the Kirkburton and Denby Dale wards with pupils mainly from the neighbouring middle schools at Kirkburton and Scissett. It was originally Shelley High School, changing to Shelley College when it attained specialist status in science.
