Lanercost is a village in the northern part of Cumbria, England. The settlement is in the civil parish of Burtholme, in the Cumberland local government district. Lanercost is known for the presence of Lanercost Priory[1] and its proximity to Hadrian's Wall.
History
[edit | edit source]The toponym is of Primitive Welsh or Cumbric origin. The first element is a Cumbric form of the Welsh llanerch, "glade or laund".[2] The second element is possibly the personal name Awst (from the Latin Augustus).[3]
Lanercost Priory was founded in 1165[4] as an Augustinian house of Canons.
