Areley Kings is a village on the River Severn, in the civil parish of Stourport-on-Severn, in the Wyre Forest of Worcestershire, England.
The village is featured in the Domesday Book of 1086, and is home to many historical places of interest such as Areley Hall and St Bartholomew's Church.
The manor of Areley originated in a fishery at "Ernel" which, with the land belonging to it, was granted by the Empress Matilda to Bordesley Abbey upon its foundation in 1136, and retained until the Dissolution.
Prince Rupert of the Rhine is rumoured to have slept a night at Areley House during the English Civil War.
The discovery, during rebuilding, of the base of a Norman font under the nave floor with an inscription containing the name of Layamon, establishes the connection with the writer and shows that a church existed here c. 1200.
