Edmondsley is a small village in County Durham, England. It is situated a few miles south-west of Chester-le-Street, near the villages of Craghead and Sacriston.
Coal mining once provided the village's main source of employment, but the last mines in the area had closed by the mid-1980s.
Edmondsley has one primary school and a post office. There was also a public house, the Fleece, but this closed in 2007.
The name Edmondsley is first recorded in c. 1190 in the form Edemannesleye. It appears to have come from the Old English Eadmund or *Eadmann + leah ("Edmund's clearing").[2]
