The origins of the name Horsley are much debated, although it is thought to be derived from the pre-7th century Old English phrase, "horse-lega", meaning "place of horses".[2] The Parish is situated on part of the Ridgeway, Britain's oldest road.[2] A habitation was record in 1327 at Barton End, named after a barton on the manor estate.[3] The village sprung from cross-roads east of St Martin Church. The Parish is bisected from south to north by the Bath-Gloucester, built in 1780. HistoryHistorically Horsley had a prison, part of which is now a house, the exercise yard now a garden. Horsley Court on Narrowcut Lane dates back to c1690. The house was altered and enlarged c1820, with a central tower added in c1850. It was built for the Webb family of clothiers. FacilitiesHorsley has a C of E Primary School and church, a community shop,[4] a playground and sports field, a village hall, Ruskin Mill Education Trust, and a pub, The Hog (formerly the Bell & Castle). St Martin's Church also serves as the Primary School hall and a performance space for the community and surrounding area. PublicationsHorsley's monthly newsletter, 'The Horse's Mouth' provides local news and serves as the church's parish magazine.
