Etymology
This name is a compound of beorg and hyll , the old 1″ O.S. name recording a curious triplication of the hill-idea. Working out the bounds of Broadway as found in the great Pershore charter it is clear that the wadbeorh or'woad-hill' of that charter is to be identified with the beorh of Burhill.
