Herrywell Lane
Early-attested site in the Parish of Owthorpe
Etymology
Herrywell Lane (6″). Cf. Herrywell Lane and Wood c. 1825 O.S. The lane is the road, partly track, partly road, which runs from a quarter of a mile north-west of Clipston in a southeasterly direction to Kinoulton and Hickling. Not far away was Herryway (Sanderson's map), the hill-road from the Vale of Belvoir by Owthorpe to Hoe Hill supra 235. This is clearly OE here-weg , 'army road,' and the first element in Herrywell is probably the same road-name.
