Etymology

Rose Hill Fm (6″) is Rosehall in Mancester 1437 Cl. The place was held in 1437 by the owners of Rosehalle in Sarret now Rosehall Green in Sarratt (Herts) and the name was very likely transferred from that county to Warwickshire. The Hertfordshire place-name appears earlier as Roos in Saret (1420 Cl) and is probably to be associated with the family of Robert and John de Ros (1281FF ). Cf. further The Roos (PN Ess 539).
