Etymology
'Clearing by or with a burh on it,' v. leah . Burleigh was a manor of the Archbishop's and it is probable that the appended Arch or Arches is due to popular use of a scribal contraction for archiepiscopi used in local written records. The DB form shows the same confusion as in Burpham supra 166.
