Takeley is a village and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England. It lies east of Bishop's Stortford, its post town, which is over the county boundary in Hertfordshire. The parish includes part of London Stansted Airport within its boundaries.
==History== A number of theories have arisen over the origin of the village's name. One believes the village's name was a corruption from the "Teg-Ley" of sheep clearing. Another theory is that Takeley is derived from the Saxon lord Taecca, who owned land in Essex and Oxfordshire, the latter of which has a village named Tackley. In more recent times, Takeley is thought to have derived from "settlement next to open forest" in reference to the Forest of Essex.
