First documented in the Boldon Book as Heleie, “Alain de Chilton, holds Heley, as is contained in his charter, for Cornforth...”.[2] The village is also listed in Bishops Hatfield’s survey (1381) as Heley, "...being held by John de Chilton".[3] The place name probably means “the high clearing”.[4]
The village was the site of a prisoner of war camp during the First World War from which two prisoners escaped.[5][6]
