Background
History
The toponym is of Primitive Welsh or Cumbric origin. The first element is a Cumbric form of the Welsh llanerch, "glade or laund". The second element is possibly the personal name Awst (from the Latin Augustus). Lanercost Priory was founded in 1165 as an Augustinian house of Canons.
