[edit] Studley

What is this? I thought London was the largest. --Merovingian ↕ T@Lk 18:28, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)

  • It might be a question of legal distinctions--London might be classified as a city while this is the largest legal village, or something of that sort. No vote. Meelar 18:40, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, list on Cleanup. RickK 21:13, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
  • Ummm... rubbish. How do you know wht's a village and what isn't? The Land 18:02, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • Because, in general, the location is registered as such with whatever government agency oversees such things. Presumably Studley has the largest population in the UK of all population centres classified as villages. Either way, it's a real place, people live there, etc, so keep.

I thought Kidlington was the largest village in the UK; this website: [1] seems to confirm this. Ianb 20:09, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

A suggestion as to the origin of the name 'Studley' would be worthwhile. Anyone have any ideas ? Cabinscooter 06:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

In the Doomsday Book it was called Studleigh. The "Stud" refers to the fact that the local industry was horse breeding. "Leigh" is an old English word for field. "Studleigh" is pronounced "Studley" and over time the spelling evolved to what we have today. Kelpin 17:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps it should be called 'Publey'? Cabinscooter 06:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US Studley information removed

I've just removed some information from this page, as it seems to relate to a different Studley, in the US rather than the UK, and was poorly formatted.

Perhaps a Studley disambiguation page is needed? Indreamix 11:55, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
