''Kherl Town (Khiri). — Town in the Lakhlmpur tahsil of Kherl District, United Provinces, situated in 27° 54' N. and 8o c 48' E., on the Lucknow-Bareilly State Railway. Population (1901), 6,223. Kheri is a place of some antiquity, and contains a tine tomb built over the remains of [[Saiyid Khurd]], who died in 1563. It is administered under Act XX of 1856, with an income of about Rs. 800.
