The village has a population of fewer than five hundred inhabitants.

History

White Notley and the larger neighbouring village of Black Notley (located 3 miles to the north-west) formerly constituted one township – Notley. The name is supposed to have been derived from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) “"knut"” and “"ley"” (meaning “nut pasture”) and is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086 A.D.) as Nutle [i] a.
