Place Names, Landscape & Society
in the Medieval North West England


By Dr Alan Crosby

Place-names are everywhere, one of the fundamental frameworks of our everyday existence and in constant use by all of us all the time. But how often do we stop and think about them - what do they mean, how old are they, who invented them?

Come with us as we journey from Arnulf's headland to the wolf valley, via the beaver stream!

We explore the place-names of North West England (and especially south Westmorland and north Lancashire) and discover what place-names reveal about medieval society.  

1pm - 4.30pm

For booking please

Price £10.00 including refreshments
We look forward to seeing you.

​About us

​The society was established in 1972, following a successful campaign to stop the demolition of a large part of Queen's Square for development.

Kirkby Lonsdale has an extremely distinguished architectural quality and practically the whole town centre is now a Conservation Area.
​
The Society's remit covers Kirkby Lonsdale and its wider Rainbow parish, which includes Barbon, Casterton, Hutton Roof, Lupton, Mansergh and Middleton.
​Our aims
Our aims include:
·   promoting high standards of planning and architecture
·   preserving and conserving and where possible developing those things which make the area special
·   encouraging interest and pride in the area
