Firle

Firle ( /ˈfɜrl/; Sussex dialect: Furrel /ˈfʌrəl/) is a village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. Firle refers to an old-English/Anglo-Saxon word fierol meaning overgrown with oak. The original division of East Firle and West Firle still remain, however East Firle is now simply confined to the houses of Heighton Street which lie to the east of the Firle Park. West Firle is now generally referred to as Firle, although West Firle remains its official name. It is located south of the A27 road four miles (9 km) east of Lewes.
