Etymology
Birley Meadows, formerly Burrow Lee, Byrreyleye 1552 SheffCh, Borolees in Ollerton 1557 SheffMan, Burrow Lee 1607 SheffCh, Barrowe Lee 1639 WillY, Boroughlee 1771 M, Burrow -Lee 1822 Langd. Earlier material is needed, but it looks like a compound of burh (also with gen.sg. byrh ), probably in the sense 'town, borough' and lēah . The first form, which appears to be correctly identified because it is associated with Owlerton, may reflect an association of the name with bierlow 'township' common in this wapentake, or with Birley 245infra , but it has no other connexion with the latter.
