==Etymology==
Harrow's name comes from Old English ''hearg'' = "(heathen) temple", which was probably on the hill of Harrow, where St. Mary's Church stands today.〔Room, Adrian: “Dictionary of Place-Names in the British Isles”, Bloomsbury, 1988. ISBN 0-7475-0170-X〕 The name has been studied in detail by Briggs.〔Briggs, Keith "Harrow", Journal of the English Place-name Society, volume 42 (2010), 43-64〕
