Profile

Birley, on the Roman road running north–south through Herefordshire where it passes under Dinmore, was divided into five small manors in 1066. Three of them passed together after the Conquest, Ruillic being named second among their pre-Conquest holders. The personal name does not occur elsewhere in DB or other sources and was probably Welsh.
