Beschreibung:

Pasture land, derived from an Old English word. 1398-9 ‘the farm of the pasture called <i>les leeghes </i>’, Acaster Selby (SAR91); 1618 <i>turned the gelding lowse in my Cow leaze where he ought not to goe </i>, Brandsby (NYRO44/156). It may be the element in minor names such as Woodsome Lees: 1566 <i>Edmundus Brodeheade off Lees ultra Wodsom sepult </i>, Almondbury (PR) but is difficult to separate from ‘ley’ in the plural: 1668 <i>they present Valentine Cletherow for putting his Sheepe into the leyes before they were common, </i>Bridlington (BCP243).
