The Shelsleys is a civil parish in the Malvern Hills District in the county of Worcestershire, England. The Shelsleys are near the village of Clifton-upon-Teme the Teme Vally, and they encompass the three very distinct hamlets Shelsley Beauchamp, Shelsley Kings and Shelsley Walsh.[1]

Shelsley means "clearing on a slope" from Old English scelf "shelf (of land)" and leāh "wood, clearing". The name was recorded as Scillislege in 948.[citation needed]

Charles Nott, the Parson of Shelsley, was a leader of the Clubmen who drew up the Woodbury Declaration, which listed the greviences that local people had at the behaviour of Royalist forces in the area. [2]

Following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 the Shelsleys Parish ceased to be responsible for maintaining the poor in its parish. This responsibility was transferred to Martley Poor Law Union.[3]
