History
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.
