Himley is a small village and civil parish in Staffordshire, England, west of Dudley and southwest of Wolverhampton. At the 2011 Census, it had a population of 802. Himley Hall was the home of the Lords of Dudley.
==History== Himley parish became part of Seisdon Union following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834, and later the Seisdon Rural District until 1974, when it became part of the newly formed South Staffordshire district. Despite these administrative boundaries, Himley Hall is owned by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. Located next to Himley Hall is St. Michael's Church, the only church in the village, which was erected in 1764 and is a Grade II listed building. Most recent Earls of Dudley are interred in a private burial ground at the rear of Himley's parish church.
