village , district andcivil parish inMilton Keynes , Buckinghamshire, England. Together with its neighbouring parish,Shenley Church End and the districts of Shenley Wood and Shenley Lodge, the districts are collectively known as "The Shenleys".The name 'Shenley' is an
Old English language word meaning 'bright clearing'. In theDomesday Book of1086 the area was collectively known as "Senelai".The distinction between the Brook End and the Church End happened in the
12th century when a newmanor house was constructed in Shenley Brook End by the Mansell family.
