__NOTOC__ Honley is a village in the Holme Valley civil parish in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is situated near to Holmfirth and Huddersfield, and on the banks of the River Holme. According to the 2011 Census it had a population of 6,474, a growth of 577 from the 2001 Census.
The name Honley possibly derives from the Old English Hanalēah meaning either 'cock wood or clearing', or 'Hana's wood or clearing'. Alternatively, the first element could be derived from the Old English hān meaning 'stone', specifically a whetstone.
