About: Bircle

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The historic parish of Bircle, near Bury, England, was created on 1 July 1846, although the village of Bircle (nowadays known as Birtle) pre-dates this by many centuries. It is believed that 'Bircle' is a shortening of the phrase 'Birch Hill', as it was suggested that there were birch trees in the parish. Names such as "Cleggs Wood", "Simpson Clough" and "Dobb Wood" appear on early Ordnance Survey maps. "Hill' did appear in the fourteenth century in the name of 'Birkhill' but it never found a permanent place. Over a period of time its name has also appeared as Brithull, 1243; Birlcil, 1246; Birkhill, 1334, 1573; but Bircle appears in the Diocese of Manchester directory in England.
