Hedgerley is a village and civil parish in South Bucks district in Buckinghamshire, England. The parish is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Gerrards Cross and 3 miles (4.8 km) south-east of Beaconsfield. The parish has incorporated the formerly separate parish of Hedgerley Dean since 1934 (which was once a hamlet in parish of Farnham Royal).[2]
The toponym name "Hedgerley" is derived from the Old English meaning "Hycga's woodland clearing". In manorial rolls in 1195 it was recorded as Huggeleg.[3]
There is a village street of red brick and timber framed cottages, amongst which Victoria Cottages date from the 16th century.[4] Above the village on the hillside is the Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin was designed by the Gothic Revival architect Benjamin Ferrey and built in 1852.[4] The Tudor Revival Rectory was built in 1846.[4]
Local Fields are called the "sea-fields" because during spring they become full with bluebells and look like a body of water when the wind blows across them.[citation needed]
