Riseley village history
« on: Friday 28 March 08 10:08 GMT (UK) »
Hello All,
Can anyone tell me when Riseley village was founded, & by whom? Also, if named after a Riseley family, who were they, & what were their origins?
Many thanks,
Bob

It dates back to before the doomsday book. British History on-line partly answers your questions.  See:
