It is said that william De Falaise was a
courtier,and trusted subject of William The
Conqueror.Sir William was of native Norman
blood born within the castle of the Lords
De Falaise who traced their lineage to the
ancient Vikings.It is said that William De
Falaise at the time of the conquest was the
twenty-seventh lord of this castle.He responded instantly to the call of his sovereign to aid in the conquest of England.
He was rewarded for his loyalty and bravery
out of the spoils of war.His reward was
twenty-nine Manors and Lordships in the County of Devon.He erected his castle in
Somerhetshire which he named in honor of his
ancestral castle in Normandy, and anglicized
his name and castle to Farley.A town sprang
up outside the walls on the Frome river some
eight miles from Bath.Sir William is the
ancestor of all the Norman-English Farley's

Farley's in this community.I would like to
