Etymology
'Farmstead on sour land', v. saurr , bȳ , cf. Brough Sowerby (ii, 69supra ), from which it is distinguished as Temple - (v. tempel ), because it was originally owned by the Knights Templars till their dissolution in 1312, being afterwards transferred to the Knights Hospitallers (1177–9 Pipe 163–6, 1292 QW 786, 1327 Ipm 41, cf. also Weth 320n, NB 382).
