'''Weekley''' is a small village and [civil parish](/source/civil_parish) in the English county of [Northamptonshire](/source/Northamptonshire), on the outskirts of [Kettering](/source/Kettering).

The village's name probably means, 'wood/clearing by the [Romano-British](/source/Romano-British) vicus', a trading settlement. There are two known Romano-British destinations in the surrounding area. On the other hand, '[wych-elm](/source/wych-elm) wood/clearing' might be an alternative derivation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Northamptonshire/Weekley|title=Key to English Place-names}}</ref>

At the time of the [2001 census](/source/2001_United_Kingdom_census), the parish's population was 242 people,<ref>[http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=797311&c=weekley&d=16&e=15&g=472825&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1259431105664&enc=1&dsFamilyId=779 Office for National Statistics: Weekley CP: Parish headcounts].
