PURLIEU

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 665 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PURLIEU , a word used of the outlying parts of a
place
  or
district
 , sometimes in a derogatory sense. It was a
term
  of the old
English
  forest law (q.v.), and meant, as defined by Manwood (
Treatise
  of the Forest
Laws
 ), " a certain territory of ground adjoining unto the forest,. . .which. . .was once forest-
land
  and afterwards disafforested by the perambulations made for the severing of the new forests from the old." The owner of free-lands in the purlieu to the yearly value of
forty
  shillings was known as a " purlieu-man " or " purley-man." There seems no doubt that "purlieu" or "purley " represents the Anglo-
French
  purale, puralee (O. Fr. pouraler, puraler, to go through, Lat. perambulare), a legal
term
  meaning properly a perambulation to determine the boundaries of a
manor
 , parish, &c.
