Etymology
'At the high clearing,'v. heah , leah . For Arden v. supra 11.“But in truth it ought to have been written Heanley , as the ordinary sort of people doe still pronounce it; for that was its original name, and occasioned from the ascending ground, whereunto it is so neerly situate, hean in our old English signifying high ” (Dugdale 597).
